The Swiss company is attempting to create a formula for chocolate that is resistant to heat, and it may happen soon.
Hans Vriens, the company’s director of innovation, says that changing the production process and reducing the amount of cocoa butter may give them the results they are hoping for.
Although a heat-resistant chocolate already exists, it is reserved for military use, and not sold commercially. The chocolate producer hopes to penetrate the markets of India, China, South Africa, Latin American and the southern United States, where heat can strongly affect the popular treat.
