Again from San Francisco: from beans to bars...

Another great costumer from San Francisco: here is a chocolate manufacturer "from beans to bars" very famous in the world of chocolate of USA.

Also this costumer has chosen Unica after testing other tempering machines!

Unica has been proved to be a perfect chocolate machine for these  producers "from the bean to bars" because  it has the  bainmarie system for the  bowl to melt, because it has a thickness and an appropriate length of the tempering tower which allows a perfect curve of pre-crystallization for this kind of crafter chocolate.

The strength of Kleego!

The strength of Kleego!

Finally, here in Italy, after Sigep we can tell, many important chocolatiers who transform the semifinished chocolate have realized how important it is Kleego!
