Callebaut Dark Chocolate 70.5% '70-30-38'

When 811 isn't intense enough, there's 70-30-38. Callebaut's 70.5% dark couverture is the choice for professionals who want maximum cocoa impact — a bold, full-bodied Belgian dark chocolate with deep roasted cocoa notes and a clean, powerful bitterness that commands attention in every application.

At 70.5% cocoa, it delivers significantly more intensity than the benchmark 811, yet retains the excellent fluidity and consistent tempering behaviour that Callebaut is celebrated for. The result is a couverture that is as practical as it is powerful — one that brings a serious dark chocolate presence to ganaches, baked goods, and confectionery without sacrificing workability. Available in 2.5kg and 10kg professional bags.
