Callebaut 70-30-38 Dark Chocolate Block – 70.5% Cocoa Belgian Couverture – 11 lb

Why chefs choose the 70-30-38 block over callets

Recipe 70-30-38 is Callebaut's most intense standard dark chocolate: 70.5% cocoa solids with a low fluidity that makes it a natural fit for ganache, mousse, chocolate sauces, brownie and cookie doughs, and any recipe where the chocolate should taste dark rather than sweet. The block form costs less per pound than callets and is the usual choice for kitchens that chop or melt chocolate in large batches; for enrobing and molding, where fluidity matters more, a callet with a higher drop rating is the better tool.

The 11 lb block is sized for a restaurant pastry station or a small chocolatier; the 5 x 11 lb case is the price break for production bakeries and manufacturers. Store cool and dry, away from strong odors. To push a recipe darker still, blend with Callebaut CM-CAL unsweetened block; for a sweeter counterpart, see the Callebaut 823 milk chocolate block.
