A Chocolate Fountain is a fountain specifically designed for “couverture” chocolate to allow it to flow continuously in a liquid form. The fountain itself pulls the liquid up through the middle using an auger (corkscrew) allowing the chocolate to flow over a series of plates that create a fountain effect. The fountain also contains a heater to maintain the chocolate in a liquid form at a pleasant temperature.
What type of chocolate do you use?
We use only the finest quality “Callebaut” Belgian chocolate.
There is a range of chocolate types available. Some of the most popular are milk, dark and white. There is also a range of flavoured chocolate available including strawberry, orange, cappuccino, caramel. We can also colour white chocolate to match your theme within reason.
