FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT DOES "MI-AMERE" MEAN? It translates to "semi-bitter," referring to the balanced 58% cocoa profile that is darker than semi-sweet but smoother than extra-bitter chocolates.

HOW DO I TEMPER THIS CHOCOLATE? Melt to 45-50°C, cool to 27°C, and reheat to a working temperature of 31-32°C for optimal shine and snap.

CAN I USE THIS FOR CHOCOLATE FOUNTAINS? Yes, its high cocoa butter content provides the fluidity needed for fountains, though you may need to add a small amount of cocoa butter for a continuous flow.

IS CACAO BARRY MI-AMERE VEGAN? While the recipe does not contain dairy, it is produced in a facility that handles milk, so it may contain traces and is generally labeled as "vegan-friendly" rather than certified vegan.

HOW DOES THE 5 KG BOX ARRIVE? The chocolate is packed in a heavy-duty bag inside a sturdy cardboard box to ensure it stays protected during transit across Canada.

WHY CHOOSE PISTOLES OVER BLOCKS? Pistoles eliminate the need for chopping, significantly reducing labor time and ensuring more even heat distribution during the melting process
