Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2862449A1] The invention relates to a method for continuous tempering of a crystal-containing and fat-containing chocolate mass that can be further crystallised. The method comprises the steps of: heating or maintaining the chocolate mass at a temperature at which it is liquid and pumpable; dividing the chocolate mass into a first stream of mass and a second stream of mass; cooling the chocolate mass of the first stream, so that further crystals are created in the first stream of mass; maintaining the second stream of mass at conditions that essentially allow for the initial overall crystal content to be maintained; re-combining the first stream of mass and the second stream of mass into one stream of mass. The invention further relates to a use of an apparatus (1) for continuous tempering of a crystal-containing and fat-containing chocolate mass that can be further crystallised.
