70.5% CacaoRecipe 70-30-38Block Format

Loved by chefs and chocolatiers around the globe. Callebaut Recipe N° 70-30-38 delivers an intense yet balanced chocolate taste — a solid body of roasted cocoa, powerful bitter notes, and fresh, fruity hints. The block format is ideal for boosting rich ganaches, sauces, and doughs where deep chocolate leads.

Brand Callebaut — Belgium
Cacao Content 70.5% min. cocoa solids • 38.9% cocoa butter • low fluidity (2 of 5 drops)
Tasting Notes Roasted cocoa, powerful bitterness, fresh fruity hints
Best For Ganache, sauces, doughs & intense applications
Format Block • 11 lb • 5 x 11 lb case

Why Buy From Specialty Food Source

  • Nationwide shipping — next day UPS Ground delivery in Massachusetts
  • Trusted by chefs, breweries, manufacturers, and the cannabis industry for over 30 years
  • Contact us for large orders and hard-to-find ingredients
  • Globally sourced • Retail store • Wholesale

Shipping: Ships UPS Ground in an insulated box to protect against melting. If your destination's forecast is hot, we upgrade to 2-day shipping.

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. Browse the Callebaut collection, dark couverture chocolate, and the professional chocolate collection.

Ships nationwide from our Brockton, MA warehouse; free local delivery on qualifying orders across Eastern Massachusetts and New England.
