Chocolatiers = Re-melters?

Posted in: Opinion

While many other Chocolatiers use Chocolate made by American, Belgian, or Swiss Companies.Just because I use a chocolate product and re-temper it doesn't necessarily make me a re-melter.That is just a simple way of saying and yes, degrading and derogatory statement, that what I do is not skilled.Best Regards,Shawn Alter - Chocolatier/Owner The Chocolate ButterflySenior Marketing Director Hake Plastic Molds & Equipment
