How is Salon de Royal's Chocolate Special?

All products of Salon de Royal are using the top of chocolate, Couverture Chocolate.
This is the ingredient used by professional chocolatiers. Couverture means covering in French, and was originally used in Europe for the making of chocolate coatings by adding more cocoa powder than chocolate to make the texture more fluid.

Also, couverture chocolate is very delicate and easily affected by temperature, humidity and other environmental factors.
Therefore, it is a difficult ingredient to use unless you have mastered the skills to handle it.

Criteria for Couverture

According to international standards, chocolate can only be labeled as "couverture" if it contains at least 35% total cocoa solids, at least 2.5% non-fat cocoa solids, and no substitute fats other than cocoa butter.

As you can see, Couverture Chocolate used in Salon de Royal’s is a rare chocolate that meets strict international standards and requirements.
