38. How to temper Couverture
Tempering Chocolate:
The main reason we need to temper chocolate is so that it retains the smooth beautiful gloss,
and crisp”” snap”” feel, and creamy texturethat we are so accustomed to. Once we heat cou
verture above 120º F , the cocoa butter becomes totally melted. In this form, the cocoa butter
fat crystals have the properties of setting upon cooling into eighter stable or unstable crystal
shapes. For couverture to maintain the fine gloss and ““ snap”” we spoke of, it needs stable
crystals to form.This is done by gradual reduction in temperature and steady agitation. This
treatment induces the formations of of the stable ( Beta) crystals. By doing this, not only will
the stable ( ““ Beta””) crystals begin to develop forming a homogeneous mixture of fat , cocoa
mass and sugar, but also the liquid mixture will develop homogeneous temperature as
well.Further cooling promotes the formation of even more stable crystals until the couver
ture eventually sets completely.
Seeding or Vaccination Method:
Finely grated or chopped vaccination is added to the warm melted liquid couverture, which
is around 100ºF .The vaccination has stable crystals, which act as seeds to help the formation
of the stable Beta crystals. This can also be done by adding a solid block of couverture in
stead of finely grated pieces. The whole mass is then cooled to the best working temperature
and maintained.
Be sure to keep the vaccination well covered after use. Since there is more surface area ex
posed with the chocolate being chipped fine; it tends to b more moisture sensitive .Excessive
moisture could adversely affect the crystallization process.
1

39. Table Method:
Approximately 2/3 of the melted couverture ( 120º F ) is poured on a marble table and spread
back and forth with a spatula and scraper until it begins to set, Beta crystals begin to form ,
beginning the crystallization process.This resulting mass is then added back to the other 1/3
melted couverture and is gently stirred sa as to seed the warm couverture with the stable
Beta crystals. The whole is then gradually brought down to the best working temperature.
Tempering Machine:
The couverture is heated in a tempering machine until it reaches about 120º F.It is then brought down
around 90º F to begin the formation of the Beta crystals. Different couverture have different ideal
working temperature.
Best Working temperatures:
Dark Couverture 86º 90º F ( 32º C)
Milk Couverture 87º 89º F (31º C)
White Couverture 85º 88º F( 30º C)
The above temperature ranges are ranges. Each chocolate manufacturer has their specific
recommended best working temperatures for the couverture they produce.
Other factors Affecting Couverture:
The temperature of the work place as well as the temperature of the items to be coated play
an important role when trying to ensure that the correctly tempered chocolate retains is
smooth glossy appearance when set. When coating or dipping items in couverture it is
important that crystallization takes place within a specific time. To achieve this is necessary
to mentain a difference between room temperature and couverture temperature. Ideally, this
temperature difference is about 18º 20º F ( 10º C) . Also the centers or interiors of the item to
be coated should be the same temperature of the room. If the centers are too warm,this may
prevent or delay proper crystallization of the couverture. On the other hand, centers that are
too cold cause the couverture to be ““shocked””, and the result is a rather dull unattractive
finish.

40. Creative Decoration Elements
Couvertures on frozen Elements
Chocolate Curls
This technique is a special way to produce thin
couverture curls. By using a pastry bag pipe
fine couverture lines on a frozen plastic tube.
Remove the couverture immediately from the
frozen tube. Let it crystallize over night before
using.
Chocolate Spaghetti Net
For chocolate spaghetti use a pastry bag to pipe
slightly liquid, non-tempered couverture in fine
lines on a frozen marble slab. The couverture
crystallizes immediately. Take a spatula to
remove. Arrange the spaghetti bundles to the
desired shape. Let it set on a sheet overnight.
Chocolate Band
Spread out very thin layered, non-tempered
couverture on a frozen marble slab.
Immediately comb and cut in bands.
Roll the couverture bands in the desired
shape. Let it crystallize overnight.

41. Chocolate Spirals and Bands
Chocolate Spirals
Spread out a very thin layer of tempered
couverture on a plastic sheet. Comb and cut
in desired shapes.
As soon as the couverture has set, roll the
spirals on the plastic sheet over a tube. Let
it crystallize for about 3-4 hours. Remove
carefully the couverture spirals from the
plastic tube.
.
Chocolate Bands
With this technique you can easily create
two-colored couverture bands. Spread out a
very thin layer of tempered couverture on a
fplastic sheet. Comb. As soon as the first
llcouverture has crystallized, spread on it the
csecond couverture which has a different
lcolor.
C Cut immediately in the desired shapes. Let
c it set.
Remove chocolate bands from the
surface

42. Couverture Sails and Arcs
Couverture Sails
Place a plastic foil on a oiled sheet. Put metal
sticks on the sides to fix the heights. Spread out
tempered couverture.
Before setting, cut in shapes and roll on a
plastic tube.
Let it crystallize overnight before removing
from the plastic foil.
Couverture Arcs
Spread out very thin tempered couverture on a
plastic sheet. Let it set. Cut in individual sizes.
Roll on a plastic tube. Crystallize overnight.
Remove from the plastic sheet.

43. Colored Couverture Transfer Sheets
Pipe dots on a oiled plastic sheet with tempered,
white couverture. Let it set and spread out a thin
layer of tempered, dark couverture.
We are able to use a large version of different
techniques and decoration methods. Brush colored
cocoa butter by using a paint roller, or use a spray
gun and spray colored and tempered (35°C / 95°F)
cocoa butter on a oiled plastic foil.
Couverture bowls
In a hemispheric mold lay out some gold leaves.
Paint the inside with tempered and different
colored couvertures, using your fingers.
Or spray with the spray gun tempered, colored
cocoa butter.
Let it set and cast twice with tempered white
couverture. Crystallize in the refrigerator for
about 20 minutes.
Demold.
Put 2 hemispheric molds for a few seconds on a
warm sheet and join them.

44. Powder and Marble Effects
Place a plastic foil on a oiled sheet. Dust
lightly with cocoa powder. Cover carefully
with white tempered couverture.
Let it crystallize overnight before removing from
the plastic foil
The rusty effect is another possible variant:
Sprinkle the mold lightly with water. Dust with
icing sugar.
Cast the mold twice with tempered, dark
couverture. Let it crystallize and place in the
refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

45. Couverture spraying Techniques & Showpieces
Spraying of Molds
With colored cocoa butter or tempered couverture spray out any
type of mold.
Options ·liquid, red, tempered cocoa butter
·yellow cocoa butter
·orange cocoa butter
·light green cocoa butter
Always temper cocoa butter up to 37°C /96°F. Cast with white
tempered couverture. Crystallize and refrigerate for about 20
minutes. Demold.
Spraying of frozen Couverture Elements
Freeze any type of mold for about 30 minutes. Temper cocoa butter
up to 40°C /104° F. Spray directly on the frozen elements. Let it
crystallize overnight or you get condensation, temperature changes
or no direct crystallization.
Recipe for spraying couverture:
White couverture 650 g / 22.7 oz white couverture
350 g / 12.2 oz cocoa butter
Milk couverture 700 g / 24.5 oz milk couverture
300 g / 10.5 oz cocoa butter
Dark couverture 600 g / 21 oz dark couverture
100 g / 3.5 oz cocoa block
300 g / 10.5 oz cocoa butter

46. Creating Showpieces
To create showpieces use different molds, rings and stencils.
Before creating your showpiece be aware about the following:
Make sure all elements are not too thick. Otherwise the
pieces could collapse when built together.
For a rapid construction of the showpiece use cold spray.
Do not touch the surface anymore if you use spray guns.
Work always with gloves.
Place decoration such as colored bowls, chocolate flours,
transfer sheets etc. in the very end.
Make sure that you use only tempered couverture
Showpieces can be used for the following:
- Turn down services in Hotels
- Amenities
- Exhibitions
- Window presentations
- image creator in pastry shop/lobby
