Dark chocolate 811 stands out for its round body, with the taste of properly roasted cocoa leading the way and delicate fruity undertones in the finish. The cocoa solids content is exactly 54.5 %, making it an ideal middle ground: dark enough for bold desserts, yet smooth enough to appeal even to those who usually avoid dark chocolate. Cocoa butter (36.6 %) means the callets literally melt on your tongue and leave no greasy film, just pure cocoa pleasure.

Practical Tips for a Perfect Result
When working with this chocolate, we recommend keeping the tempering temperature around 31 to 32 degrees. Thanks to the small callet shape, the chocolate melts quickly and evenly, which reduces the risk of scorching. If you're making ganache, this 54.5 % chocolate is absolutely ideal – it emulsifies beautifully with cream and creates a smooth, velvety filling that holds its shape even at room temperature. On our team, we like to pair it with sea salt, caramel or freeze-dried fruit, which brings out its depth.
This size is ideal if you want a professional ingredient always within reach but don't want to store giant sacks. It's just the right amount for one large celebration cake, including a rich glaze and filling, or for two generous batches of homemade brownies. The bag is compact, and thanks to the callets there's no need to break or chop anything – simply pour out what you need, seal the rest, and the chocolate stays fresh and fragrant for your next creation.
Storage and Care
To keep dark chocolate aromatic, store it in a dry place at a stable temperature (ideally 12–20 degrees). Dark chocolate dislikes moisture and sudden temperature changes, which can cause fat bloom (grayish spots). If that happens, don't worry – simply temper the chocolate again properly and it will be as good as new. Once opened, we recommend sealing the bag tightly or transferring the chocolate to a jar so it doesn't absorb surrounding odors.
