What is another word for couverture?
Pronunciation: [kˈuːvɜːt͡ʃə] (IPA) 
Couverture is a French word that describes high-quality chocolate that has a high percentage of cocoa butter, making it ideal for melting and coating desserts. However, there are several synonyms for the word couverture, including cooking chocolate, coating chocolate, and compound chocolate. Cooking chocolate is similar to couverture as it has a high percentage of cocoa solids and flavor, but it also contains vegetable fat instead of cocoa butter. Coating chocolate is a less expensive alternative to couverture as it has lower cocoa content and may contain other ingredients like sugar, milk, and emulsifiers. Lastly, compound chocolate is a blend of cocoa powder and vegetable oil, but it is often considered an inferior substitute for couverture due to its lack of richness and flavor.
