There are certain differences between raw chocolate and cooked chocolate. The difference between the two lies in the different production methods, shelf life, appearance and taste:
1. Different production methods
Raw chocolate is made from cocoa powder, cream and other materials; cooked chocolate is made from cocoa liquid, sugar and other materials.
2. Different shelf life
The shelf life of raw chocolate is only about 30 days; the shelf life of cooked chocolate is about 12 months.
3. The appearance and taste are different
Because the raw chocolate is not heated, the raw chocolate maintains sufficient moisture. At the same time, the raw chocolate has a low melting point, so it is raw. The appearance of chocolate is small squares coated with cocoa powder, which tastes soft and sweet; cooked chocolate is heated, and is thick when warm. It can be cooled into various styles, with a hard and crisp texture and a mellow taste.
Chocolate is a sweet made from cocoa liquor and cocoa butter. It not only has a delicate and sweet taste, but also has a rich aroma and can be eaten directly.
