Things to keep in mind while buying chocolate

Tweet

1. The surface of the chocolate should have a slight sheen that reflects light. 2.Crack the chocolate.Edges that are dry or crumble indicate the chocolate has been improperly stored, isn't fresh or has the wrong amount of cocoa butter. 3.Smell the freshly broken chocolate.If artificial vanilla has been used. it will smell(and taste) slightly metallic. 4.Let chocolate dissolve on your tongue.If it leaves your mouth too dry,it is too astringentlikewise, look out for unwanted gritty or greasy residue,which means it was made from milk fat not cocoa butter.
