Temper Temper

in #chocolate7 years ago

Many of you may not know that cocoa butter is a polymorphic fat. Meaning it can hold more than one crystal structure. This is why your chocolate bar does not look the same after it melts and resolidifies. It falls out of temper. If you melt it and ad the righ amount of movement and cool it the correct way, it becomes stronger. More heat resistant and you can even see your reflection in it. I will let you determine the significance of that metaphor. If there is no action while it cools. The. The structure is scattered and broken. It is chaos. It is brittle and it crumbles easily. It melts at the slightest touch. I say all this as an observer. The universe itself has given us signs enough. We can be the guides. We can help temper the world. We can be the chocolatiers of this life. We just need to act. We need to move with conviction through the chaos and we can temper this world and see our reflection in it if we will. We can choose the better part. We can make beauty if we move. Go now!3C64027F-EE3C-4574-88C8-6F7E05B91031.jpeg
