Working with Chocolates
Tips for Making and Storing Chocolates
Here are a few important tip for you to make great chocolates and also ensure that you can enjoy them for a long time:
Be very selective about sourcing raw material. Nuts should be in good condition & covering chocolate should be smooth & aromatic. Economy should not be the only Criteria for purchasing.
Hygiene & Temperature control of the environment should be of paramount importance while working with chocolates.
Product should be tempered & cooled perfectly in order to ensure a good-looking product.
Finished Chocolates should be perfectly wrapped & stored airtight to ensure shelf life & avoid contamination.
Beautiful packaging & after sales follow up will only encourage repetitive orders.
Water & heat are enemies of Chocolate. Exposure to water will cause fungus & heat will cause fat or sugar crystallization on the surface or sugar & cocoa bloom.
Warmth and moisture are two main enemies of chocolate. Therefore chocolate should always be stored in a dry, cool room and protected from sunlight. 15°to 18°C temperature with relative humidity of 55 to 65 per cent is ideal to store chocolates.
While making truffles, it is advisable to work in an air-conditioned room to avoid the truffle mixture from melting and becoming sticky when being hand rolled into balls and dipped in covering chocolate.
Covering chocolate is available in three varieties - milk, bitter and white and can be purchased in bars from retail stores or in slabs or tins from wholesalers.
Chocolate can be melted in a melting pan or in a vessel kept in a basin of hot water at a temperature of approximately 45°C to 50°C. The chocolate should then be allowed to cool to approximately 32°C and then be worked with in a room with a temperature of approximately 20°C to 22°C and temperature of the centers which are ready for dipping should also be of approximately 20°C to 25°C.
After the centers have been prepared and shaped into balls and are ready for dipping in the covering chocolate, the quantity of the covering chocolate melted and ready for dipping should be minimum 2.5 to 3 kg. After all centers are dipped and cooled and any remaining melted covering chocolate can be cooled and stored in an airtight container.

Cocoa contains flavanols, a type of flavanoid that is only found in cocoa and chocolate. Flavanoids are naturally-occurring compounds that occur in plant foods that act as antioxidants and help counteract free radicals in the body.
Dark chocolate has been shown in studies to lower blood pressure in people with elevated blood pressure.
Eating dark chocolate on a regular basis has been shown to reduce LDL cholesterol by as much as 10 percent.
Chocolate contains serotonin, a natural anti-depressant. Chocolate also stimulates endorphin production, which creates feelings of happiness and pleasure. In fact, one study found that melting chocolate in the mouth produced feelings of pleasure longer than passionate kissing. This may explain why many people naturally reach for chocolate when they're depressed.
Several studies have found chocolate to be one of the best cancer-fighting foods along with foods like red wine, blueberries, garlic, and tea. Two ways that chocolate works as a cancer fighter is by inhibiting cell division and reducing inflammation, though research is ongoing and will probably find additional ways in which chocolate fights cancer.
Research has found that the theobromine in chocolate prevents tooth decay by eliminating streptococcus mutans, a bacteria found in the oral cavity that contributes to tooth decay.
One Dutch study followed 200 men over 20 years and found that those who consumed large amounts of chocolate, both milk chocolate and dark, lived longer and had lower overall disease rates than men who ate little or no chocolate.
