CONCHING

The name comes from the shape of its prototype, a large container made in the shape of a shell, inside which granite cylinders grind the chocolate until it has a smooth, velvety texture, in which the particles must be between 18 and 20 microns.

The shell rollers move the chocolate mass back and forth in a process that can take anywhere from a few hours to seven days.

TEMPERING

Tempering is a slow, gradual process of cooling chocolate so that cocoa butter crystals form evenly.

This technique prevents the separation of cocoa butter from other cocoa solids, ensuring a compact and homogeneous structure for the final product.

Correct tempering ensures fast drying of the chocolate, surface shine, soft texture and better preservation.
