Chocolate couverture is a chocolate that has been manufactured to be especially pliant and moldable. It contains cocoa butter, but unlike some other chocolates, it does not contain the additional ingredients of milk solids or sugar syrup. Couvertures are used in food manufacturing as well as for making decorations such as Easter eggs and Christmas tree trimmings. The manufacturing of chocolate couverture starts with the grinding of cocoa beans. The ground product is then heated and mixed until it becomes a liquid form, which is called "chocolate liquor". Next, sugar and milk solids are added to this mixture, creating what can be described as an inelastic dough or paste. This substance is tempered by adding more cocoa butter to make it pliable enough for molding into shapes like flakes and curls. The final step is to add flavors, colors, and other ingredients which are mixed in with the tempered chocolate. The different types of couvertures that can be made from these mixtures include white or milk chocolate (sweetened with sugar instead of cocoa butter), dark chocolate (made by adding even more cocoa butter than usual), and bittersweet chocolates.

On the basis of Type, the global chocolate couverture market is segmented into Organic Chocolate Couverture and Conventional Chocolate couverture.

Organic Chocolate Couverture:

Organic chocolate couverture is made by adding organic cocoa beans that are certified as grown in accordance with standards laid down by the USDA. These organic cocoa beans must be harvested from ecologically sound farms, processed without chemicals and additives, segregated at origin to ensure the purity of product and traceability, roasted on a low heat for less time than conventional chocolates so they retain their natural flavor more effectively. Organic ingredients such as whole milk powder and sugar can also be used instead of refined ones.

Conventional Chocolate Couverture:

Conventional chocolate couverture includes all other types of foods that have been tempered with different amounts or percentages of fats (cocoa butter). The most popular type being dark chocolate couverture. Conventional chocolate couverture is made from a blend of cocoa butter, vanilla extract, and sugar. The ingredients used in conventional chocolate couverture vary depending on the type desired - milk-based (made with whole milk), dark or white (made without any added milk). There are four types of conventional chocolates namely unsweetened, bittersweet, semisweet, and sweet.
