Mello Compound Chocolate
Dark, milk and white compound from 3F Industries Limited, for bakery, confectionery and ice cream production. No tempering needed.
One compound range, five formats
Mello is the compound chocolate range of 3F Industries Limited, a fats and oils manufacturer founded in 1960. Compound chocolate is made with vegetable fat in place of cocoa butter, so it does not need tempering, the controlled heating and cooling that real chocolate needs before it will set with a gloss.
Mello has good melting and moulding properties, needs no tempering and holds up at high ambient temperatures. Mello Royale slabs and chips are formulated to behave like couverture. Choose the format that suits your line below, or find the right Mello for your application.

Why bakeries and confectioners use compound
No tempering
Real chocolate has to be heated, cooled and rewarmed before use. Mello only needs to be melted, which removes a step and a source of variation between batches.
Holds up in heat
Mello withstands high ambient temperatures, so finished products keep their shape through a warm kitchen, a delivery van or a shop without air conditioning.
Steadier cost
Vegetable fat replaces cocoa butter, a costly fat whose price follows the world cocoa market, so a product built on compound is less exposed when that market moves.

Common questions about Mello
Answers for buyers, bakers and production teams.
Does Mello compound chocolate need tempering?
No. Mello is made with vegetable fat in place of cocoa butter, and that fat sets correctly on its own. Melt it, hold it a few degrees above its melting point and use it.
Is Mello real chocolate?
Mello is compound chocolate. Indian food standards allow chocolate to contain only a small share of vegetable fat other than cocoa butter, and compound uses vegetable fat as its main fat. It still contains cocoa, which gives it its chocolate flavour and colour. How compound differs from couverture.
What pack sizes does Mello come in?
Mello Royale and Mello Trim slabs come in 500 g packs, Mello Royale compound chips in 1 kg pouches, Mello Chocodip in 20 kg buckets and Mello Dark Compound Paste in 15 kg wholesale cartons.
Can Mello be used in hot weather?
Yes. Mello withstands high ambient temperatures, which is one of the reasons it is used for products that travel or sit on a shop counter.
How should Mello be stored, and what is the shelf life?
Store Mello in a cool, hygienic, dry place at around 20°C and 55% relative humidity, away from strong odours and direct sunlight, and keep opened packs sealed. Mello Dark Compound Paste is best before 12 months from packaging, and every pack carries its own best before date.
Is Mello Royale like couverture?
Mello Royale slabs and chips are formulated to imitate the working characteristics of couverture, the high cocoa butter chocolate used for moulding and dipping, while needing no tempering.
Where can I buy Mello?
Mello Royale and Mello Trim 500 g slabs and Royale compound chips are sold through bakery supply stores and online grocers across India. For Chocodip, dark compound paste and bulk orders of any Mello product, email sales.choco@fff.co.in or call our Hyderabad office on +91 40 4455 7999.
