Product Description

Callebaut has traditionally produced its extra fine Belgian chocolate in bulk for professional pastry chefs. Fortunate home cooks could buy a chunk of its eleven-pound blocks of white, milk, or dark chocolate in some gourmet stores in larger cities, but the majority of us only experienced this delight when eating in top-class restaurants. Recently, Callebaut has created a smaller block of its rich, smooth chocolate to better serve this market. These half-kilogram blocks break into easy-to-use sticks. Home bakers now have access to the raw materials for making delicious dark chocolate mousse or a flourless chocolate torte, in which the quality of the chocolate used can make or break the final masterpiece.

• Minimum 55% cacao.

Customer Reviews

A high quality chocolate for baking
When I worked in a French restaurant, Callebaut was the only chocolate allowed to be used in the kitchen. This Belgian chocolate adds much better flavor to baked goods and specialty desserts than does the average chocolate found in the grocery store. I highly recommend it for serious bakers and those who want their desserts to stand out.

Bittersweet chocolate is not to be confused with unsweetened; it is a dark chocolate without an overly sweet taste. Special occasion cakes and pastries often use bittersweet to give an intense chocolate flavor without overwhelming the palate.
