Hello, 2 questions: What natural preservative can you add to the ganache to make it last longer? Do essential oils extend. the shelf-life of the ganache?
Hello! There are plenty of natural preservatives (depending on what you consider natural!), such as honey, sugars, and alcohols - shelf life is quite a varied topic so we'd reccomend taking a bit of a dive into it. A great place to start would be our livestream higlights on shelf life, which you can watch here: ruclips.net/video/J6bvwZ1F15Q/видео.html Hope this helps!
Hi! It very much depends on the ingredients of the chocolate - if it contains vegetable fats, it may not react as intended! We reccommend couvature chocolate for best results :)
Hi! Paul reccomends: 550-600 g dark chocolate 65% or above 150-200g light muscovado sugar 400ml water Different couvertures will set slightly different, so adjust the above to your taste and desired softness of ganache :)
The cameras above the bowl to show us close ups would be so much better
We'll bear this in mind for the next video, thanks!

in respose to your second question, essential oils shouldn't have a major impact on your ganache :)
Can I use cheap (inexpensive) chocolate to do this ? I'm thinking of Asda own brand chocolate bars.

Can you please give us the ratios to make this.
