   chocolate moulds, creating an homogenic layer on the surface.
3. Then, heat the second part of Deodorized Cocoa Butter to 60°C and pour onto
   the white chocolate.
4. Mix and leave to cool to 28°C before again spraying an even layer onto
   the coloured Deodorized Cocoa Butter and leaving to crystalize.
