Review: Retired pastry chef says this is the best - Ok this is one of maybe 2 reviews I’ve ever done on anything I’ve bought from desertcart and trust me I have bought thousands worth of merchandise over 5 years. I am a 62 year old retired pastry chef. I owned my own bakery and am familiar with most commercial chocolates. My go to was always guittard chocolate. Good chocolate and reasonably priced. A fellow chef in the business recently told me about this chocolate and how he felt it was a step above the guittard and that I should try it. Omg, this chocolate is top notch. It melts evenly making it great for ganache, icings, glaze’s, sauces and candy making. The taste? Incredible. The first thing you taste is chocolate, not sugar. It melts in your mouth creamy, smooth and delicious. You know you’re experiencing a high end product. I cannot say enough about this amazing chocolate. I wish I had of taken pics of the goodies I’ve made for Xmas gifts with the chocolate however I plan on updating with pics next time I make something with Callebaut chocolate which will be soon.
Review: Delicious Milk Chocolate - I have always liked Callebaut Milk Chocolate and had looked at the smaller sizes here on desertcart and thought they were a bit too expensive per pound. This is certainly more affordable but it is a lot of chocolate but I eventually caved and bought it. I broke it into 1 lb pieces and put them in ziploc bags in the freezer. Then I made some homemade chocolate candies, homemade reese's cups, fudge, chocolate pecan praline. Everything was very good and the chocolate not only tastes great but melts easy and smooth.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I just received my order and the package has c823 on the package.  the package on the amazon website has c823nv. what does the nv mean?**
A: Yeah, the NV is what you really want.  It means natural vanilla. The non-NV one isn't as good. And...who wants fake vanilla?

**Q: Is the animal or plant fat present? If the animal fat is from any animal?**
A: no animal products

**Q: Does this chocolate need tempered?**
A: Yes. As a cocoa butter-based "real" chocolate, it requires tempering. Oil-based "fake" chocolate (aka coating bars) do not require tempering.

**Q: Do you need to temper this to use in a chocolate fountain?**
A: No. Tempering is only necessary when using for molds, enrobing, coating, bars, etc. (I.e. rehardening).

*by T***O on January 25, 2017*

Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelicous!!! We have been fans of Callebaut chocolate for years..it's the only block chocolate we buy and had stuck with 70% dark and occasionally the 55%. I had a hankering recently for milk chocolate and tried to quell it with Hershey's...ew...I think I have been too long away from Hershey's milk chocolate, it tasted like..weirdly sweet with half sour notes..annnnyways.....treated ourselves to this enormous MASSIVE, bloody hell that's a gorgeous bar, of milk chocolate just because we trust the brand. WONDERFUL! It is very sweet, as you'd expect with a milk chocolate but it has this rich almost caramel like back note...the thing that was missing from Hershey's stuff. Very pleased with this purchase. It melts very nicely in the mouth and satisfies all candy cravings ;) I like to have little chunks of it with raw almonds SO FRIGGING GOOD!
