Question

After this substance’s viscosity is reduced by PGPR, a vibrating table removes its “tails” during enrobing to produce irregular countlines. Instead of cold-working, this substance is typically agitated with a granite roller to remove volatiles in the process of conching. This substance’s desirable beta-V (“beta-five”) polymorph is pre-crystallized by slowly cooling it below 94 degrees Fahrenheit with methods like “tabling” on a granite surface in order to minimize whitish (10[1])“bloom.” Makers (10[2])like Teuscher (10[2])(“TOY-shur”), Callebaut (“KAH-luh-bout”), and Valrhona send (10[1])couvertures (10[2])of this substance (10[1])to maîtres, who improve its “snap” (10[1])and glossy coating (10[2])with (10[1])tempering. (10[1])After this (10[1])substance’s heap-fermented (-5[1])nibs (10[1])are processed into (10[1])“liquor,” its theobromine-rich solids are alkalized (10[1])in the Dutch process. (10[2])For 10 points, what substance’s “butter” drips off in the Broma process invented by Ghirardelli? (10[1])■END■
