Fact Checking The Reference Standard - Update


Posted in: Opinion


Posted in the last 24 hours on Facebook. It's a start. I can only hope that Georg will personally visit everyone else in TRS that he labeled "unconfirmed." In the case of Pacari, I believe he relied in part on "unconfirmed" gossip from unreliable sources and did actually do the necessary work to determine whether the gossip was true.

looking colloid mil


Posted in: Classifieds ARCHIVE

To do what?  JML colloid mills are really inexpensive, and can work very, very well for making liquor out of nibs if that's the intent.   You'll need to clean the living daylights out of it before your first use, and will want to have a hot water loop jacketing it.  They can be found from many sources.

vegan milk and white chocolate


Posted in: Opinion

martin0642:

Hi all - I was going to make a new thread on this but decided to revive this one instead...seems to make more sense.

I am a relatively new chocolatier in the UK - I make my own chocolate (for bars and some of the molded chocs) and I've just started doing a vegan filled chocolate line. I have to say I'm apalled at the quality (or lack thereof) of vegan chocolates....just wow. I found an acceptable vegan milk chocolate made by Plamil foods in the UK; but the white chocolate was awful. They make it with rice powder and rice syrup in place of teh dairy. It is a nightmare to work with...it forms a crust in the bowl when melting (on the bottom of the bowl and no matter how careful I am with temperature) and sets up slightly sticky. Nice...not.

So I made my own using cocoa butter, sugar (from beets) and coconut milk powder. It does have a coconut flavour but it's not overpowering at all and the chocolate tempers beautifully...had great success moulding shells with it.

The key thing i've found is that most recipes for vegan chocolate do not include a proper grinder like the santha or (in my case) premier tabletop grinder. It is absolutely essential to grind it o get the proper consistency and avoid the graininess. I grind it for about 20 hours - works like a charm.

Anyway....figured I'd share in case anyone else read this and wanted to have a go :)

Martin - Thanks for sharing!

Hi Shannon-

I am wondering if you ever got an answer to your post- I, too, am in need of an extruder. Would need to get one for thick, firm caramels as well as our very dense macaroon filling.

Thank you so much!

Packaging and Storage


Posted in: Tech Help, Tips, Tricks, Techniques

Hello!  I was wondering if there are any recommendations for companies/websites that supply packaging?  I am currently a recreational chocolate maker (although affiliated with a food industry company).  We are looking to produce chocolates to give as gifts to our students/clients.  I had a beautiful mold made with my company logo and now I need nice packaging.  I am looking for a foil and/or sleeve (similar to the Ghiradelli squares).  Any suggestions?  Also, I need something to actually store my chocolate in (airtight containers perhaps?).  I have a large commercial kitchen refrigerator I can use (but high humidity). I do have access to a small dark fairly temperature controlled storage space as well.  Thanks for any help!

ChocoVision Delta tempering machine


Posted in: Tech Help, Tips, Tricks, Techniques


I read some of the threads about tempering machines,but still, I have to ask:
1. The definition of the tempering machine, namely, "semi-auto" means that it needs seed, but what avoid me to have a tempering plan of cooling to 2-3C below the working temperature and than to rise it again?
2. I'm looking for a 4-8 kg tempering machine that needs to be reliable and in reasonable price, I found that the "ChocoVision Delta" will satisfied the demands.
Any other suggestions? I heard that the Chocovision machines are very good, is it?

Appreciate any help!
