Callebaut 70% Dark Chocolate Callets – 2.5kg Bag | Premium Belgian Chocolate for Chefs

Overview

Callebaut 70% dark chocolate callets come in a generous 2.5 kg bag, offering a dependable, professional-grade ingredient for bakers, pastry chefs, and chocolatiers. This bean-to-bar chocolate centers around a cacao content near 70% (often around 70% with some batches at 70.5%), delivering a deeply cocoa-forward profile that remains balanced with measured bitterness and a touch of acidity. The result is intense flavor that can support complex chocolate creations without overpowering other ingredients.

Designed for reliable performance, the callets melt smoothly and flow consistently, supporting tempering, emulsions, and coatings in busy kitchens. The aroma is rich and inviting, with notes of roasted cocoa, coffee, and dark fruit, while the finish carries a refined bitter-sweet edge that pairs well with a range of desserts and fillings.

Flavor, texture, and melt

The chocolate presents a measured, sophisticated profile: bold roasted cocoa, assertive bitters, and a hint of brightness that helps balance fillings and dessert components. When melted, it yields a satin finish and a steady pour, supporting even coatings and clean breaks when set, which many professionals value for consistent results in plating and production.

How to work with Callebaut callets

For best results, melt gradually and maintain stable temperatures to preserve sheen and snap. Bulk callets like these suit tempering, casting molds, and bakery workflows that require consistent melt behavior and repeatable colors across batches.

Storage and care

Keep in a cool, dry place away from strong odors. Reseal the bag after each use to preserve aroma, texture, and melting characteristics over time. Proper storage helps maintain performance from bag to finished product.
