Barry Callebaut Dark Bittersweet Chocolate Callets - Sao Thomé Single Origin - 70% Cacao, 5.5Lbs (2.5 Kg) (1 pack)

Callebaut's Sao Thomé baking chocolate has a very intense and complex taste, rich in roasted cacao, and with plenty of refreshing fruity notes: apricot, red fruits, citrus and even hints of tea.

This chocolate is made with Amelonado cocoa bean varieties from the island Sao Thomé. In 1822, São Tomé and Príncipe were the first African islands to import cocoa from Brazil - for which they were baptized 'the chocolate islands'.

Sao Thomé is great to savor as such. For pairings, our chefs recommend to combine it with fruits that have a moderate to high acidity and sweetness.

Slightly bitter ingredients such as walnuts or mild coffees and spices such as Sichuan pepper that has a tingly effect on the tongue also create beautiful harmonies.

With its standard fluidity, you can use Sao Thomé in a broad range of applications: molding, enrobing, ganaches, flavoring pastry crèmes and mousses, etc.
