Baking Chocolate

Baking chocolate is commonly referred to as unsweetened or bitter chocolate. Baking chocolate contains no sugar or milk solids, but is usually made with lecithin and vanilla. Baking chocolate is popular in American baking for brownies, sauces, etc., and is available in most grocery stores. Baking chocolate, also referred to as 100% cacao content chocolate, is usually not considered pleasant for eating out of hand due to its lack of cocoa butter and sugar.

Bittersweet Chocolate

Bittersweet Chocolate is very dark, with high chocolate liquor content, but ideally maintains a well-balanced flavor of strong chocolate and pleasant sweetness. Bittersweet Chocolate is a blend of chocolate liquor, cocoa butter, a minimal amount of sugar, and usually vanilla and lecithin. If desired, semisweet and bittersweet chocolates can be substituted for one another in recipes with little difference noted. Bittersweet Chocolate is used in all sorts of chocolate confections and desserts, and is great eaten out of hand. Due to its high cocoa content, bittersweet chocolate can be kept for years if stored in the correct conditions. For those that love the taste of chocolate, bittersweet cannot be beat.

Bon-bon

The term bon-bon is used to refer to a range of small, usually bite sized candies often made primarily of chocolate. It can be used to refer to a variety of chocolates; everything from a caramel to a truffle can be referred to as a bon-bon.

Chocolate Bloom

Chocolate bloom is visible by whitish streaks or dots on the surface of the chocolate and can be the result of two things. One cause of chocolate bloom is chocolate that is allowed to get warm, allowing the cocoa butters to separate from the chocolate and rise to the surface in whitish streaks or swirls. This is not a sign that your chocolate is inedible, just that it does not look as pretty. Another type of chocolate bloom is "Sugar Bloom". Sugar bloom occurs when moisture is allowed to get to the chocolate (such as in a refrigerator) and the water draws the sugar to the surface as it evaporates, leaving white dots of sugar crystals on the surface of the chocolate. Though sugar bloom does not affect the taste of the chocolate, it does result in a somewhat grainy texture.

Chocolate Modeling Paste

Chocolate modeling paste is a combination of chocolate and vegetable oil or corn syrup. It is a pliable form of chocolate used to create decorations for cakes, centerpieces, and chocolate showpieces. Chocolate modeling paste is also referred to as "Chocolate Plastic" and "Modeling Chocolate". Dark, Milk, or White Chocolate can be used to create chocolate modeling paste, and all sorts of shapes and decorations can be created from it. At The Chocolate Fetish, we never use chocolate modeling paste for decorations on Smash Cakes or chocolate sculptures due to its lack of flavor.

Chocolate Frog

A chocolate frog is our version of the classic Chocolate Turtle®. Traditionally, a Chocolate Turtle® was made with pecans, caramel, and milk chocolate. At The Chocolate Fetish, we offer our chocolate frogs with pecans, pistachios, and cashews in a variety of milk, dark, and white chocolates.

Cocoa Butter

Cocoa butter is the fat of the cacao bean. Cocoa butter is separated from the cocoa liquor as the bean is broken down in processing and is later added back into the mixture to create chocolate, as we know it. Cocoa Butter is cream colored and tastes of chocolate. Cocoa butter gives chocolate its smooth texture and adds to the flavor. White chocolate is made from a base of cocoa butter with the additions of milk solids and sugar. Chocolate containing high percentages of cocoa butter, called couverture, is difficult to work with and must be tempered. Cocoa butter has a complex crystalline structure that requires a precise process of heating and cooling (tempering) in order to set correctly. When desiring good chocolate, always look for products that contain cocoa butter and do not use the common substitutions of vegetable fats.

Cocoa Powder

Cocoa powder is a direct product of the nib of the cacao bean. After the nib of the bean has been exposed, fermented, and roasted, it is ground, resulting in cocoa liquor. Cocoa liquor is processed further to separate out most of the cocoa butter and a dry, crumbly chocolate is left. This dry, crumbly chocolate is dried completely to produce cocoa powder. If Dutch cocoa powder is the end product, alkali is added to the chocolate, yielding a mildly flavored powder.

Cocoa Liquor / Chocolate Liquor

Despite the name, chocolate liquor has nothing to do with alcohol. After roasting and hulling the cacao bean, the resulting nibs of the beans are ground into a dark paste called chocolate liquor. This is the base for all chocolate. Different chocolates contain different percentages of chocolate liquor. For example, a very dark, bittersweet chocolate may contain 70 to 80 percent chocolate liquor, whereas a creamy milk chocolate may contain between 28 to 35 percent chocolate liquor.

Conching

One of the last steps in chocolate production, gives chocolate it's smooth, consistent texture. In the conching process, the chocolate is heated while it is stirred and ground, then further mixed and aerated. Aeration reduces the acidity of the chocolate and tones down bitter flavors. Conching can last anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on the quality of the finished product. Better chocolates are conched for longer, resulting in a smoother texture. There is some degree of flavor loss during the conching process and each chocolate manufacturer must find their desired ratio of texture to flavor. Rodolphe Lindt developed conching in 1879, and the process revolutionized the chocolate industry. Lindt's development opened the door for high quality chocolate to be eaten out of hand. The process and machinery are named after the Spanish word for "shell" because of the appearance of the first conch machines, which had the shape of a shell.

Chocolate Couverture

Chocolate couverture contains at least 32 percent cocoa butter, a higher percent than most chocolate. The high cocoa butter content gives couverture its shiny appearance, smooth texture, and thin consistency. Chocolate couverture must be tempered in order to work with it. Chocolate couverture can be used in any recipe for which chocolate is called for, is ideal for dipping chocolate truffles, and is excellent for eating out of hand.

Fetish

Object believed to have magical powers. Object of unreasoning devotion or concern.

Ganache

Ganache is a French term referring to a smooth mixture of chocolate and cream. While many ganaches are made of chocolate, cream, butter, oil, and preservatives, Chocolate Fetish ganache is made only with chocolate couverture and heavy cream to which subtle flavorings are added for certain recipes. Ganache has many uses beyond chocolate truffles, such as filling and coating cakes and pastries.

Gianduia

Gianduia (pronounced: john-DOO-yah) is a creamy smooth mixture of chocolate and hazelnuts. Gianduia can be made with either milk or dark chocolate. The hazelnut flavor is subtle but unforgettable. Almonds, pistachios, or other nuts can be used instead of or along with hazelnuts to make gianduia, but hazelnuts are the standard. Gianduia originated in Turin, Italy, a city renowned for quality hazelnuts.

Lecithin

Lecithin is usually a soy-derived emulsifier added to chocolate during manufacturing to stabilize the fats in cocoa butter and keep them from congealing and separating. Lecithin also naturally occurs in egg yolks and some vegetables. Lecithin aids in giving chocolate it's pleasing, smooth consistency.

Milk Chocolate

Milk Chocolate is a creamy, sweet blend of chocolate liquor, cocoa butter, sugar, and powdered milk solids, usually with the addition of vanilla and lecithin. Milk Chocolate contains less chocolate liquor and more sugar than bittersweet and semisweet chocolate, and is therefore lighter in color, sweeter in taste, and higher in fat. Milk Chocolate cannot be substituted for bittersweet or semisweet chocolate in recipes. Milk Chocolate is available in a range of chocolate liquor percentages and as a couverture. Milk Chocolate is used in many desserts, confections, and pastries and is also enjoyed out of hand. If stored in the correct conditions, milk chocolate can be kept for ten months to one year. Though bittersweet and semisweet are growing in popularity, milk chocolate is still the preferred chocolate in America.

Nibs

Chocolate nibs are the center of the cacao bean and the base of all chocolate. After the outer shells of the individual beans have been removed, the nibs are roasted and ground. Nibs without the addition of sugar, cocoa butter, and milk solids, are bitter and somewhat crumbly and have a very strong chocolate flavor.

Rocher

A Chocolate Fetish Rocher (pronounced: row-shay) is our version of a nut cluster. Finely chopped nuts (or coconut flakes) are laced throughout our premium chocolate. The word Rocher is taken from the French word meaning "rock".

Semisweet Chocolate

Semisweet chocolate is a dark chocolate that balances bitter chocolate flavor with sugar's sweetness. Semisweet chocolate is produced by combining chocolate liquor, a small amount of sugar, cocoa butter, and usually vanilla and lecithin. Semisweet chocolate can be exchanged for bittersweet chocolate in recipes. If kept under optimal conditions, semisweet chocolate will last for a few years. Used for many chocolate confections and pastries, semisweet chocolate is also excellent for eating on its own.

Snap

Snap is a term commonly used to describe the feel and sound of breaking apart a piece of chocolate by hand or bite. Good chocolate breaks, to leave a clean edge and produces an audible cracking sound. A good snap is indicative of chocolate that has high percentage of cocoa butter (couverture), and has been processed and stored with care.

Tempering

Tempering is a process of raising and lowering the temperature of chocolate to bring the cocoa butter to a stable, workable state. Cocoa butter contains four different crystalline structures, each with a different melting and setting point. If chocolate is not properly tempered the cocoa butter cools too slowly and rises to the surface creating "bloom" white streaks or circles on the surface of the chocolate. Correctly tempered chocolate is shiny and crisp with a smooth melting texture in the mouth. Even chocolate that is bought in the tempered state will need to be re-tempered if melted, to regain the stability of the cocoa butters. Dark, milk, and white chocolates each require a different tempering process, which is further dependent on the brand of chocolate used. However, each type of chocolate goes through the steps - raising the temperature to a set degree, letting it mix, adding a "seed" of tempered chocolate, bringing the batch down in temperature to a set degree to mix, then raising the batch 1-5 degrees to mix before using.

Tempering Machine

Though a decent temper can be obtained with a double boiler, a tempering machine is an essential piece of equipment used by Chocolatiers and home chocolate enthusiasts to create their ideal chocolate creations. A tempering machine is designed to melt chocolate and then bring it to set degree points while constantly stirring. Tempering machines are able to hold the temperature of melted chocolate at a certain degree indefinitely with the aid of a temperature probe. Tempering machines have a large bowl divided down the middle by a bowl scraper, which keeps melted chocolate on one side and chunks to be melted on the other. It can take from 30 minutes to 2 hours to temper a batch of chocolate, depending on the amount and the equipment. Chocolate tempering machines are not cheap, but the results cannot be beat.

Truffles

Chocolate truffles have a creamy, chocolate ganache center enrobed in a thin shell of chocolate couverture. This decadent combination of chocolate-on-chocolate and the melt-in-the-mouth ganache center earned this treasured chocolate confection the name "truffle". Chocolate truffles got their name from the highly prized "truffle mushroom". These hard to obtain fungi are considered the top of the mushroom kingdom for gourmet cooking and have been known to out price gold. There's no doubt that chocolate truffles live up to their title as the king of the chocolate world!

White Chocolate

White chocolate is made from cocoa butter, sugar, milk solids, and usually vanilla and lecithin. White Chocolate is not categorized as chocolate by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration due to its lack of chocolate liquor and is labeled as "Confectionary" or "Confectionary Coating". White Chocolate must be tempered to get a decent finish and texture due to its cocoa butter content. White chocolate cannot be substituted for any other type of chocolate in recipes. White chocolate, when stored properly, can be kept for long periods of time.

Xocoatl

Xocoatl (pronounced: sho-KWA-til ) is the Aztec word describing a drink made from Cacao Beans and means "Bitter Water". We get the English word "Chocolate" phonetically from Xocoatl.

Before you bite, take a moment to look at the chocolate, since appearance can say many things about it.

Chocolate should be shiny and even its coloration. The surface of the chocolate should not show any whitish streaks, dots, cracks, or fog, as these aspects are indicative of "bloom" from bad storage conditions or incorrect handling.

ext, experience the aroma of the chocolate. Good chocolate should have a rich, chocolaty, flavorful smell and should not be at all burned, smoky, or scentless.

The best chocolate will not give off any scent of chemicals or impure additives - if this is detectable, it is a good time to put the chocolate down and move on to the next sample. Flavored chocolate can have aromatic elements of the flavorings, but they should not overpower the most important element - the chocolate. When broken, the aroma of fresh chocolate will smell as it should - of chocolate.

The next step for testing is the break of the chocolate.

This part is referred to as the "snap". Chocolate should break clean and crisp, without crumbling or breaking into layers. Be certain the chocolate is at the correct temperature. Chocolate that is too cold will splinter, while chocolate that is to warm will warp and separate. Chocolate should never crumble or break into layers, as this is a sure sign that it is not good. Ideally, chocolate will break cleanly with an audible snap and a crisp break.

Now for the best part, taking your first bite! Break off a bit with your teeth and let it sit between your tongue and the roof of your mouth.

Move it around and observe the effects. The chocolate should begin to melt immediately with an even texture, as chocolate melts at human body temperature. The feeling of the chocolate in your mouth, or "mouthfeel", should be creamy, velvety, smooth, and soft, free of any grease, grit, grain, wax, or gum. Pay attention to the flavors, both subtle and strong. The best chocolates of all types will be well balanced, not too sweet and not too bitter. Any additives to the chocolate such as fruit, nuts, spices, and liquors should be present, but in no way overpowering. Chocolate should always be the main flavor. The flavor should be full and mellow with no artificial, burned, harsh, or flat overtones.

Aftertaste is the last quality to watch for when tasting chocolate.

A good chocolate will not disappear immediately, but will leave subtle and pleasant sensations in the mouth. The aftertaste of chocolate should not be too strong, burned, chalky, or too short. When selecting chocolate before you purchase - look at the label. Chocolate with a high cocoa content can be a good indicator of a quality chocolate. Look for chocolate that contains cocoa butter and not other vegetable fats. Chocolate made with cocoa butter will have a smoother texture and a more chocolaty taste.

If you choose to store your chocolate in the refrigerator remember that chocolate stored in the refrigerator will "sweat"

this means that a layer of moisture will form on the surface of the chocolate, and when cooled, stickiness will result. The temperature in a refrigerator is too low and humidity too high for ideal chocolate storage we recommend find a cool, dry place in your home such as a cupboard or pantry to keep chocolate. If it is just too hot and you must rely on your refrigerator to avoid a total meltdown of your chocolate, be sure to let it sit at room temperature for a spell before eating to get that fabulous melt-in-your-mouth sensation that chocolate offers. The stickiness will not affect the flavor of your chocolate, but will alter the mouth feel slightly. When storing chocolate it is also important to remember that chocolate absorbs any nearby smells or flavors which can negatively affect its taste. To avoid this wrap chocolate tightly with multiple layers of saran wrap and avoid storing it among things with strong odors.

Chocolate Rounds and other solid chocolates, if stored properly, can be kept for a few months with little degradation of taste and texture.

Chocolate Truffles, due to their fresh cream content, should be eaten within 7-10 days of purchase. Truffles from The Chocolate Fetish contain no preservatives, and therefore, careful attention should be paid to the shelf life and storage conditions.

Chocolate that is allowed to get warm will begin to melt, thus allowing the cocoa butter to rise to the surface, creating "bloom".

Chocolate bloom will be noted as white streaks or dots on the surface of the chocolate. Chocolate bloom does not affect the taste of the chocolate, but will alter the texture somewhat if not re-tempered.

Wine and chocolate are not an easy match due to the inherent bitterness of each.

Chocolate tends to overpower most wine, killing the subtleties in flavor and bringing wine's bitter qualities to the forefront. A sweet chocolate paired with a less sweet wine will make the wine taste sour by comparison. If wine and chocolate are to be enjoyed together, it is best to chose a medium to full bodied wine that can stand up to the strong flavors of chocolate. Wines that have been aged in oak barrels or casks tend to embody more complexity of flavor and compete well with chocolate. Port and dark chocolate are a classic combination in large part because Port is about as sweet as most dark chocolate

As with food pairing, when paring wine with chocolate, match lighter flavored chocolates with lighter bodied wines and more intense flavored chocolates with more full-bodied wines.

"Lighter" chocolate doesn't refer to white or milk verses dark, but the overall flavor of the piece. For example, a delicate dark chocolate ganache can be lighter in flavor than a spicy or nutty milk chocolate.

Dry wines match best with bitter chocolates while milk chocolate (and some dark) can be matched with wines that are slightly sweeter.

Milk chocolates go nicely with wines that have fruity qualities while white chocolates go well with lighter wines, perhaps with a citrus quality.

As with all things chocolate, it really comes down to personal preference and the joy of the experience.

If you like to drink wine with chocolate then be adventurous and follow these simple pairing rules: match like flavors with like and be sure to balance weights and textures.

When serving multiple beers start with the lightest flavor and move to the darker flavors.

Do not serve the chocolate or beer fresh from the fridge

Let them come closer to room temperature to experience the full depth of flavor.

Experiment with tasting the beer first then tasting the chocolate, then do the reverse.

Due to the cleansing process of most beers you may be delightfully surprised at the flavor difference just by alternating the order in which you taste them.

Generally, when pairing beer and chocolate, you should keep sweet with sweet and tart with tart and try to keep the beer sweeter or tarter than the chocolate you are pairing it with.

However, it is also nice to experiment with contrasting flavors that can be complimentary. Stout beers tend to be the easiest to pair with often due to coffee and chocolate notes in their flavors. A stout beer will pair well with a higher percentage dark chocolate. Bitter ales like IPA's pair well with a medium body dark chocolate. Avoid bitter chocolates when paring with a bitter beer, as the bitterness will become overwhelming. The high acidity in many white beers does not pair well with chocolate, but if you find white ale that isn't overly acidic, its crisp refreshing flavor will probably pair well chocolate that has citrus notes.

When paring any foods, we encourage you to seek out the recommendations of the experts AND be willing to experiment on your own.

Ultimately, any pairing is subjective; if it tastes good to you, then enjoy!
