Chocolate couverture (chopped)

Chocolate couverture is a high-quality chocolate with a higher percentage of cocoa butter than standard eating or baking chocolate, giving it a glossy finish and smooth snap when tempered. It is used by confectioners and bakers for coating, dipping, and moulding, where a professional sheen and texture are desired. Proper tempering is necessary to achieve its characteristic gloss and firm set.

Chopping breaks an ingredient into pieces, which changes how much air gets trapped between them compared with the whole form.
