Why You Should Think Twice Before Adding Oil to Chocolate

Sephra developed its proprietary chocolate for chocolate fountain recipe in conjunction with famed chocolatier Barry Callebaut to specifically avoid the detrimental effects of adding vegetable oil to chocolate.  Here's why this was an important and visionary step in the realm of chocolate fountains.

The Health Concerns Behind Chocolate Fountain Additives

For other types of chocolate for chocolate fountains, the instructions don't ask you to simply add a few drops of oil, but a cup of oil or more!  In a single tablespoon of regular vegetable oil, there are 14 grams of fat.  Therefore, in one cup of vegetable oil, you could be adding 224 grams of fat to your chocolate for chocolate fountains!  This is a tremendous amount of unnecessary fat that could be avoided by using Sephra's chocolate for chocolate fountains that requires to additives.

In addition, vegetable oil is known to become precancerous under high heat.  Particularly once it reaches its smoking point of 425 degrees, the oil becomes damaged, and the presence of cancer-causing properties can form. Although Spectrum has developed canola oil specifically designed for high heat use, you're still adding an unnecessary ingredient to your chocolate and transforming it into a compound chocolate, instead of retaining a pure chocolate.

Why Sephra's Chocolate for Chocolate Fountains is a Better Choice

In addition to the negative health impacts, chocolate that has vegetable oil added to it often appears to have an unnatural sheen - one which consumers are quickly recognizing.

Not only is Sephra's chocolate a healthier option for consumers, but people can enjoy pure chocolate flowing through the fountain.  Your clients will appreciate that the chocolate that is being served is not only a high-quality, superior Belgian chocolate, but is a healthier option because of its pure state.

A visual of a cup of vegetable oil should be enough to dissuade anyone who will argue that this method of creating fondue-ready chocolate is necessary. Sephra's chocolate is packaged to promote a greater yield and less waste so that your dollar goes farther and your chocolate fountain will serve the right number of guests.

Don't be fooled by other chocolate fondue makers who tell you that it's cheaper to add vegetable oil.  The truth is that Sephra is the only chocolate for chocolate fountain manufacturer who can confidentially offer a healthier, purer chocolate that not only smoothly flows through the chocolate fountain and tastes great, but is additive free.
