Special chocolate for a chocolate fountain
Special high cocoa fat chocolate prices are generally higher, and the other cheaper option is chocolate flavored syrup, also known as chocolate paint. Chocolate syrup is cheap and liquid, so it doesn't need to be heated before it melts. The best Belgian chocolate, though expensive, has excellent quality and taste.
The rich cocoa butter ensures a steady flow of liquefied chocolate. If the chocolate cocoa butter content is too low, it is necessary to add additives to improve viscosity (usually using vegetable oil). Unless specifically for the special chocolate chocolate fountain design, general Couverture chocolate melts after the viscosity is not up to the requirements of smooth circulation, therefore still require additional adding vegetable oil. Since the addition of vegetable oil affects the aroma and taste of chocolate, a special chocolate fountain chocolate is recommended. Most chocolate fountain machines don't have enough temperature to melt chocolate directly, so they usually melt the chocolate in a microwave oven before adding it to the fountain.
The melted chocolate is very sensitive to temperature, so it uses a very high content of cocoa butter chocolate couverture.
