CM-CAL Unsweetened Chocolate Block - 100% Pure Cocoa

Unsweetened chocolate for professional kitchens: what CM-CAL does

CM-CAL is cocoa liquor (also called cocoa mass or baking chocolate) pressed into a block: roasted cocoa beans ground to a paste and solidified, with no sugar, milk, or added cocoa butter. Chefs use it to deepen the chocolate flavor of a recipe without adding sweetness, which makes it the right choice for adjusting a dark ganache, intensifying brownies and flourless cakes, building a bitter base for ice cream and sorbet, or balancing a milk-chocolate formula that has turned out too sweet. Chop or shave the block before melting it slowly over a bain-marie.

The 11 lb block suits a pastry shop or restaurant; the 5 x 11 lb case is the price break for chocolatiers and manufacturers. Store cool and dry, away from strong odors. It works alongside Callebaut 70-30-38 dark chocolate block for a sweetened counterpart, and with Gerkens Dutch-processed cocoa powder when a recipe needs color as well as depth.
