Chocolate Conching and Refining
🍫🍫🍫🍫

Although Conching and Refining are two different processes, they usually take place at the same time due to modern machineries. Conching and Refining improve the over-all taste, texture and odor of the chocolate.

Chocolate Conching is a process in chocolate manufacturing whereby a surface scraping mixer and agitator, known as a Conche, evenly distributes and mixes cacao solids and ingredients well. It promotes the flavor and odor development through frictional heat, release of volatiles and acids, and oxidation. They say that the first "machine" used for the process looks similarly like a conch shell.

Chocolate Refining on the other hand, is a process of reducing the particle sizes of all the ingredients around 15-25 microns. The human tongue losses its ability to determine grittiness around this range making chocolate smooth when consumed. This makes chocolate smoother even before Chocolate Tempering.

Why Chocolate Tempering is important

After Conching, chocolate undergo a process called Tempering before molded into chocolate bars. Tempering controls the crystallization of cocoa butter (an essential ingredient for chocolates) which generally affects the appearance (see chocolate bloom), texture and that awesome snap you hear when you break a chocolate bar to pieces. Despite chocolate bloom not affecting the taste, it affects the overall experience of indulging chocolate.
