"Our larger Alberta catering clients tell us the 5lb bag format is key for inventory control during big events. You're not breaking up a bulk block and guessing at portions. With two bags in the case, you can run separate stations or batch ganache without waste. It's a practical choice for busy operations."
Consistency is the whole game in professional patisserie. These Ghirardelli wafers hold their temper and bring that balanced bittersweet flavour to molded pralines, enrobed desserts, or whatever else you're running. Whether you're on a busy banquet line in Vancouver or a high-volume bakery in Montreal, they don't let you down. Check out more of what we stock for your operation at our food service range.
Quality & Specifications
These wafers carry a 53% cacao profile with low acidity, giving you that balanced bittersweet flavour. The uniform dark discs melt smoothly and temper consistently, so you get a superior snap and a glossy finish on your work. That's the kind of reliability you need for high-end chocolate work.
Professional Applications
Use them for velvety ganaches in tortes and fillings, or mold them into pralines that snap cleanly. They're also solid for enrobing desserts, running a chocolate fondue fountain, dipping fruit, or folding into gourmet chocolate chunk cookies. They handle the range.
Storage & Handling
Keep these wafers in their original sealed packaging in a cool, dry place. Aim for storage below 18°C (65°F) and under 50% humidity. That prevents cocoa butter bloom and keeps them from picking up odours, so they stay pristine and ready to work.
Canadian Sourcing
The precise origin is on the product label, but we carry these Ghirardelli Queen wafers because they deliver consistent quality. That's the key for Canadian food service. We ship from our Calgary hub to all 10 provinces and 3 territories, so you can count on stock when you need it.
