Special Choco |
General Description
Special Choco is prepared exclusively from a special grade of palm kernel oil under the most stringent
processing conditions. The fat is the ultimate in lauric hard butter, designed exclusively for use in the extreme
tropical environment.
Characteristics
Special Choco is hard, brittle, and snappy, yet melts abruptly to give a very desirable cooling sensation in the
palate. It has excellent stability against oxidation, free from rancidity, soapiness, and any extraneous matter
and impurities. Special Choco is a non-tempering fat. Due to the high solids content, Special Choco has
excellent shrinkage to give clean mould release and thus minimizing breakage.
Applications
Special Choco is designed exclusively for use in chocolate bar and chocolate enrobing in tropical countries and
hot summer days. It is also designed for those applications where larger amounts of coating ingredients
containing soft oil are used.
