Oily spots on chocolate


Posted in: Tech Help, Tips, Tricks, & Techniques

Does anyone know what would cause these oily spots and sheen? I’m getting it too.  The sheen shows up when the liquid chocolate is in the melanger.  I only clean the melanger with hot water, but I do melt the cocoa butter in a bowl that has gone through the dishwasher.   Could the oily spots be coming from residue soap that the cocoa butter picked up from the bowl?

I’m really new to chocolate making so any advice would be appreciated.
