The Professional Baker's Guide to Premium Chocolate, Specialty Coffee & Artisan Ingredients

Whether you're a pastry chef, chocolatier, home baker, or coffee enthusiast, the quality of your ingredients defines the quality of your results. At Nut House, we source the world's finest professional-grade baking ingredients — from Valrhona chocolate couverture and Cacao Barry dark chocolate to freshly roasted specialty coffee beans and organic early harvest extra virgin olive oil — so you can create with confidence.

Premium Chocolate Couverture: The Foundation of Fine Patisserie

Not all chocolate is created equal. Couverture chocolate — with its higher cocoa butter content — melts more smoothly, tempers more reliably, and delivers a superior snap and gloss that sets professional work apart from the rest.

Valrhona Chocolate — The Gold Standard

Valrhona is the benchmark for professional chocolatiers worldwide. Our range includes the iconic Jivara 40% milk chocolate, beloved for its creamy, malty notes, alongside our Valrhona Best Seller 3kg Bags Bundle and the Tasting Bundle (4 x 250g) — perfect for exploring the full Valrhona range before committing to bulk.

Cacao Barry Chocolate Couverture

Cacao Barry offers an exceptional breadth of professional couverture for every application:

• Dark chocolate couverture: from the bold Ocoa 70% and Inaya 65% to the versatile Excellence 55% and Chocolat Amer 60% — ideal for ganaches, mousses, and enrobing.
• Single-origin dark chocolate: the Extra Bitter Guyaquil 64% and Mexique 66% bring distinctive terroir-driven flavour profiles to your creations.
• Milk chocolate couverture: the Alunga 41% and Lactée Supérieure 38% deliver rich, balanced sweetness for pralines and truffles.
• White chocolate couverture: the Zephyr 34% and Zephyr Caramel 35% are go-to choices for delicate mousses and decorative work.

Callebaut Dark Chocolate

The Callebaut L811 is a professional-grade dark chocolate trusted by bakers and chocolatiers across the UK — smooth, consistent, and endlessly versatile.

Belgian Chocolate by Veliche

Our Veliche Belgian chocolate range covers every need: Dark Chocolate Dots Sensation 72%, Dark Chocolate Dots Essential 54%, Milk Chocolate Dots Inspiration 32%, and White Chocolate Drops Delight 29% — all in convenient drop/dot format for easy melting and precise scaling.

Cocoa Butter & Textural Additions

No professional chocolate kitchen is complete without Veliche Cocoa Butter for tempering and ganache work, alongside Cacao Barry Paillété Feuilletine — the iconic crispy caramelised wafer flakes that add irresistible crunch to pralines, bars, and layered desserts. The Cacao Barry Cara Crakine caramelised crunchy chocolate is equally essential for textural contrast in bonbons and entremets.
