Callebaut Semisweet 56%

This remarkable Belgian classic delivers a sophisticated 56% cocoa content that reveals itself through layers of complex flavor. The initial impression showcases a solid cocoa character with pleasant bitterness that develops into intriguing notes of nutmeg and vanilla for a truly refined chocolate experience. This perfectly balanced recipe stands apart with its slightly more fluid consistency than typical dark couvertures, resulting in exceptional technical performance and a wonderfully rich mouthfeel that melts gracefully on the palate.

Professional chocolate artisans value Callebaut couverture for the perfect balance between intensity and versatility. This elegantly calibrated recipe pairs brilliantly with powerful and acidic ingredients – enhancing warm citrus, exotic fruits, and black cherries while allowing their distinctive characteristics to shine. The slightly above-standard fluidity makes these callets ideal for thin enrobing and precise molding of pralines and delicate hollow figures.

When properly tempered, this semisweet chocolate will deliver the hallmark qualities that chocolate professionals demand – hardening with a beautiful gloss and satisfying snap that transitions to a quick, smooth melt in the mouth. The convenient callet format ensures even melting and precise measurement while maintaining the authentic character that made this recipe legendary.
