FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What does Callebaut 70.5% chocolate taste like? It is an intense dark chocolate with a dominant roasted cocoa body, balanced by extra-bitter notes and a very subtle hint of sweetness.

How do I temper this dark chocolate? Melt the callets to 45-50 Celsius, cool to 27 Celsius, and gently reheat to a working temperature of 31-32 Celsius for optimal results.

Can I use this for chocolate fountains? While it can be used, its high cocoa solids mean it is thicker than milk chocolate. We recommend adding about 10% cocoa butter to ensure a smooth, continuous flow.

Is this chocolate suitable for vegans? The recipe is plant-based and contains no dairy ingredients; however, it is produced in a facility that also handles milk chocolate, so trace amounts may be present.

What is the difference between this and the 54.5% dark chocolate? This 70.5% version is significantly more bitter and intense, with less sugar and a firmer snap than the more balanced 54.5% (811) version.

How should I store the 10 KG bag? Keep the bag tightly sealed in a cool, dark, and dry environment. Avoid the refrigerator to prevent moisture from causing sugar bloom.
