Tempering is one of the most essential—and misunderstood—skills in chocolate making, often fueling frustration and hesitancy toward chocolate. In this engaging seminar, Master Chocolatier Meagan Larmant takes us on an epic journey through tempering: from chocolate's origins and the discovery of cocoa butter crystals, to the science behind Snap & Shine, and the innovative methods shaping the future of the craft.
