Details

Exceptional flavor and appearance starts with using quality ingredients. Use these Van Leer .5M breda dark chocolate chunks to bring an indulgent chocolate flavor to your signature confectionaries! This decadent dark chocolate features an intense roasted cocoa body with bitter notes and hints of fruit, making it an ideal ingredient for boosting the rich chocolate flavor in your creations. This chocolate's roasted notes, acidity, bitterness, and sweetness all blend together perfectly to deliver a complete, balanced, and consistent flavor profile that ensures the chocolate's taste will work across different applications and with a wider range of flavors and ingredients. These dark chocolate chunks pair exceptionally well with spicy flavors like cumin or Sichuan pepper, fruity flavors like lime and blueberry, or more intriguing flavors like balsamic vinegar and Earl Grey.

Essential for any bakery, chocolate shop, cafe, or gelateria that uses the finest products, these dark chocolate chunks deliver on the quality and consistency you're looking for. The irregular, chopped chunks of chocolate offer an efficient, time-saving alternative to larger chocolate blocks to minimize labor in your establishment. The bake-stable formula melts well in recipes such as rich, silky ganaches for piping or dense, velvety cremeux or mousse for your specialty dessert menu, but also holds up well as a chocolate chip substitute for puddles of chocolate in classic cookies and fudgy brownies that will keep customers coming back for more.

Providing an all-American range of chocolates and compounds, Van Leer complements the imported products of the Barry Callebaut brand portfolio. Van Leer is partnered with the Cocoa Horizons Foundation, a non-profit organization that works directly with farmer groups to improve and empower their livelihoods and communities, to support farmer training and help provide the tools necessary for the farmers to excel at their craft. In fact, with each Van Leer chocolate purchase, Cocoa Horizons reinvests a portion back into the West African and South American farmers and their communities! As a reliable and easy-to-use partner, Van Leer provides the right products for every segment of the industry to inspire everyday creativity.

These have a nice flavor. To me they tasted a bit more like semi-sweet chocolate than dark chocolate. It's definitely on the lighter side of dark chocolate which was what I was looking for anyhow
