[12] [13] Tempering has four steps: [14]
A modern rotary conche can process 3 to 10 tonnes of chocolate in less than 12 hours.

Melting the cocoa butter in chocolate and then allowing it to solidify without tempering leads to the formation of unstable polymorphic forms of cocoa butter. This can easily happen when chocolate bars are allowed to melt in a hot room and lead to the formation of white patches on the surface of the chocolate called fat bloom or chocolate bloom ...
