Callebaut Chocolates Editorial Review

This chocolate is dairy-free and suitable for making homemade fruit and nut chocolate bars. Customers have reported excellent flavor that is slightly bitter, making it perfect for cooking with. The chocolate is also suitable for molding truffles, but it is a bit more thick and stickier than other chocolate coatings. Some customers have reported receiving damaged packages, but the company has been responsive in correcting the issue. The high price of the chocolate makes it disappointing when it arrives melted or out of temper. Overall, customers love the flavor of this chocolate but advise being prepared for a thicker coating and potential shipping issues.
