is dark chocolate the same as couverture chocolate?

Question

can i substitute dark chocolate in a recipe with couverture chocolate?

Answer 1

Look at your package and look for a percentage of 62 or higher, if you have Dark that is 70% you're in the same range

Answer 2

honestly it depends on what type of recipe you have cause coverture is a coating chocolate so it may harden are sieze in the recipe they are probably asking for dark chocolate because it will harden but not ash much or a fast for a certain resean. You can also try the recipe correctly and then try it with couverture and see the difference. But like I said it depends on what you are making. I am a degreed pastry chef, any other questions?

Answer 3

Maybe.

couverture chocolate = couverture-grade chocolate = coating chocolate = commercial coating chocolate Pronunciation: KOO-ver-chure Notes: Couverture means covering in French, and professionals use this type of chocolate to coat candies and glaze cakes. It has a higher percentage of cocoa butter than ordinary chocolate, which makes for glossier coatings and a richer flavor. Available in bittersweet, semi-sweet, white, and milk chocolate. It's expensive, and you may need to go to a specialty store to find it. Substitutes: compound chocolate coating (Not as rich and tasty, but easier to work with) OR ordinary chocolate

Answer 4

NO, there are 3 types of chocolate: 1) white 2) dark 3) milk, with dark chocolate being the most "healthy: of the three. It also contains the largest percentage of cocoa and least amount of sugar.
