What arrives
Everything for a batch of untempered chocolate, already portioned out. You won’t need to roast, winnow, or even weigh anything. Toss it in your melanger, and in the next day or so you’ll have chocolate ready to temper or store. A melanger is required to refine it into smooth modern chocolate. This isn’t optional.
