The beauty of a dark chocolate couverture

Callebaut 811

The 811 recipe is a renowned one. In both professional and hobbyist kitchens across the globe, you’ll be sure to find at least 1 hefty bag of this classic choc! And there’s good reason, too. This dark chocolate couverture ticks the boxes when it comes to:

• Taste and Versatility – with notes of banana, red fruit (mainly berries), bitters, caramel, and vanilla balanced exquisitely throughout the main cocoa body, Callebauts 811 opens you up to a world of possibilities and inspires you to go on an adventure of flavours and textures. When tested by Callebauts top chefs, they found that this chocolate can be paired with a variety of herbs, spices, fruits, spirits, and wines.
• Workability – This is a chocolate designed to keep up with you and your business. Callebaut has put a lot of time and effort into the remastering of this classic recipe, focusing on, amongst other elements, the crystallisation process. The 811 is a dream to temper, of medium fluidity, and sets 30% faster than other Belgian chocolates on the market. Improved crystallisation means your chocolates will be snappier, shinier, and have more lustre than ever before!

Whole bean roasting guarantees its full-bodied taste with a well balanced solid cocoa body and fine, fruity notes. This master in balance pairs perfectly with a wide variety of ingredients and works in all applications ranging from confectionery to biscuits, desserts, sauces and drinks.
