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

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.

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

The media could not be loaded. This chocolate is perfect for making mold candies. I have made Dubai chocolate bars, filled bon bons and chocolate covered pretzels with this chocolate so far Tempering is easy, I heat to about 40°C and cool to 35° while seeding with chopped up callets. I see very little plumbing and the chocolate sets beautifully at room temp. It also has a wonderful snap when you bite in. Not to mention the flavor of this chocolate is delightful. Highly recommend. You will go through this 5 lb bag in no time.

great chocolate

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!

Sent to a friend/relative as a gift so she can continue to bake with a better chocolate.I love this chocolate and all their products.

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!

There are no words for this chocolate. The very best and makes incredible truffles.
