Hi, I think that there is no such thing as chocolate that is weather (heat) resistant. Couverture chocolate is a quality chocolate which is high in cacao butter. Cacao butter melts just under body temperature. That is one of it's characteristics. This characteristic ensures a superior mouth feel to the chocolate...So this is why couverture is superior to compound chocolate (often with palm oil, with a slightly higher melting point)If well tempered the high cacao butter contents, gives the chocolate a nice sheen and snap.If you know this than a weather proof couverture chocolate sounds like a contradiction.CheersKarel

There actually is - there're a number of patents on it, and major companies are using it in india as we speak.  The issue for you is that, as a small buyer of chocolate, you're not going to have access to any of these.  Appropriately packaged product will be your friend, but that's only half of your battle - for as you well know the thousands of shopes that your courrier will delivery to will also not be 'thermally attractive' to your chocolate - so ensuring it arrives to them in good condition will be your first (solvable) issue - the next(and harder one) will be what to do once it arrives to them....

use suitable packaging like ice packs along your packing within thermocol boxes.

Two changes we made with the chocolate is that this time we winnowed the chocolate. This time we didn't use a blow dryer to melt the chocolate. Two improvements with the chocolate is that the melanger didn't get clogged this time and everyone put in work.
