CallebautBelgian Dark Couverture Chocolate Semisweet Callets, 54.5% - 5.5 Lbs

Used this chocolate to make some Cinnamon Chocolate chip cookies and some other stuff. I must say, this stuff is fantastic for baking, and even just eating plain. Best Chocolate i have had in a long time. The size of these "chips" are not consistent, they range from almost tiny to almost double this size of the regular ones you get in a store, not a big deal, they work the same.

I recently got back from a trip to Belgium. The chocolate there was unreal. I had never had anything so good. I tasted a waffle with melted chocolate on it and just knew that I was going to have to re-create that taste when I came home. Looking for European chocolate in my area produced mostly small, eating chocolates, and I wanted something that I could melt and bake with. These were pricey, and I was kind of nervous about ordering them in the summer because I was afraid they would be melted. To my surprise, they arrived in a little cooler bag with an ice pack, without one melted chip. Now to taste. I was worried these wouldn’t live up to the hype. As soon as I sliced open the bag the entire room filled with the smell of a magical Chocolate shop. Remember how when you were a kid you’d step into the candy store and that smell of lovely sugary sweetness would hit you when you opened the door? It was like that. I tasted one and it just melted in my mouth so deliciously that I had to close my eyes and say a deep Mmmmmmmmm. The flavor is complex. Fruity. Multi layered. It’s not your average candy bar from the store. This is the real thing. This tastes exactly like what I had in Belgium. The bag is over 5 pounds – so a little bit heavier than a bag of flour. It completely filled a gallon Ziploc bag for me. I’m just over the moon that I can finally get chocolate here with the quality I found in Europe. It’s pricey, but it’s definitely worth it. Use this when you’re baking to impress. Don’t waste its greatness on Frenemies. They don’t deserve it.

This is my second order of this product, that is how good and reliable it is. During the usage of my first order I also tried different brands to compare and contrast. While some of the different brands were good for particular recipes and situations, when it came to making chocolate candy, Callebaut melted smoother, with great texture, and set up flawlessly! It has a wonderful flavor profile, and no bitterness at all. So when I ran out making peanut butter cups I knew that Callebaut was the one to reorder. Amazingly, it wasn’t due until Monday of next week, but came today, 3 days early!

Excellent quality. Fast shipping. Was shipped in an insulated, sealed bag with frozen gel packs inside for no extra charge.

Very good for cooking desserts

Amazing! Full bodied chocolate pallets that are creamy and good. Arrived in perfect condition- no blooming!

Callebaut has completely changed the game for me. I’ve been using their couverture chocolate to make Easter eggs filled with creamy Brazilian chocolate, and the results have been an absolute hit—every single time.The texture is incredibly smooth, it melts beautifully, and the shine after tempering is just perfect. Not to mention the flavor… rich, deep, and perfectly balanced without being too sweet. It pairs so well with the traditional Brazilian fillings I use—brigadeiro, beijinho, and other favorites.Every year, people wait for my Easter eggs, and I’m convinced a big part of the success is the quality of the chocolate. It elevates everything. Whether I’m molding shells, dipping truffles, or adding a glossy finish, Callebaut never lets me down.If you’re serious about chocolate, especially for handmade sweets or holiday treats, this is the one. Worth every penny!

great chocolate
