How Dark Chocolate Percentages React Differently Above 26°C
• Higher cocoa butter content in dark chocolate (found in higher percentage chocolates) makes it melt faster above 26°C.
• Chocolate 'bloom,' a white coating, occurs due to fat or sugar separation when chocolate is exposed to heat or moisture.
• Store dark chocolate in a cool, dry place (18°C-21°C) and avoid refrigeration to maintain its quality and prevent bloom.
Dark chocolate's reaction to heat depends on percentages
Dark chocolate, a beloved treat enjoyed worldwide, presents unique challenges when the temperature rises above 26°C (79°F). The different percentages of cocoa solids, cocoa butter, and sugar in dark chocolate varieties significantly influence how they react to heat. Understanding these reactions is crucial for preserving the quality, taste, and texture of your favorite dark chocolate.
