Charles Davis Aug 8, 2018:
Possibly But "fractura dura" makes sense and is found elsewhere: there are several online refs to "fractura dura, forma constante" or "fractura dura, conservación de la forma" as qualities of chocolate. Of course they could all be typos, but there are no relevant instances of "factura dura".
David Hollywood Aug 8, 2018:
I agree with Phil that there might be a spelling error and if that's the case, "hardness" would work IMO

Could it be factura, meaning consistency?

The importance of tempering chocolate | Callebaut
https://www.callebaut.com/en-GB/chocolate-technique/.../no-t...
The purpose of tempering chocolate is to pre-crystallise the cocoa butter in it, ... This guarantees a perfect finished product with a satin gloss and a hard snap.

https://www.callebaut.com/en-GB/chocolate-technique/troubles...

the term “tempering” refers to the process of altering chocolate’s fat composition so that it hardens at room temperature with all of the characteristics of a fancy shmancy chocolate bar; an attractive sheen, a hard “snap” when it’s broken and a proper melt point
