Exceptional-tasting confectionaries start with using quality ingredients. Use Cacao Barry extra-bitter guayaquil dark chocolate pistoles to bring a deep chocolate flavor with optimal shine and snap to your quality treats! These couverture chocolate pistoles feature an intense, balanced, roasted cocoa flavor with delicate of coffee and chestnut. Pair with fruit flavors like blood orange and banana, nut flavors like hazelnuts and pistachios, or more unique flavors like curry and espelette pepper. The chocolate is also made with 100% pure cocoa butter, instead of cutting corners with vegetable fat like some other chocolate brands do. Couverture chocolate contains a higher percentage of cocoa butter than baking or eating chocolate, making these pistoles an ideal choice for molding and enrobing, as well as for creating velvety ganache fillings. Combined with proper tempering, this additional cocoa butter gives the chocolate a glossier finish and a firmer snap.
For an unrivaled chocolate taste, this chocolate is made using Cacao Barry's proprietary Q-Fermentation process, using West African and Ecuadoran beans. This process optimizes fermentation, an essential step in chocolate-making for the development of flavors. Farmers select enzymes naturally present in the plantation and add them to the pulp of the cocoa beans, which creates a strong, homogeneous fermentation that enhances the intensity and purity of beans' flavors. Additionally, the beans are minimally roasted to protect the natural flavor profile, so you can bring the most pure chocolate taste to your creations. For added convenience, the pistoles come in a resealable bag to maintain the chocolate's freshness and provide easy, convenient storage.
