I know that most people don't really hang about when they've got a piece of chocolate in their hand, but a pro has to make sure that the choc is of the highest standard. How do you know? The shinier the chocolate, the better the quality. An expert will be looking for shiny chocolate that's been properly processed and stored at 18-20°.

2. Touch the chocolate to release its aromas.
