Very good baking chocolate
I had always used Valrhona dark chocolate for baking and Callebaut for milk chocolate. When the price of Valrhona went through the roof I decided to try the Callebaut dark. I see no reason to ever switch back.Very satisfied with the product and the customer service.

Took some time but it's here.
Well I live in Key West FL so it came Alittle melted. But it wasn't too bad so I put in freezer and divided up for storage. I read this was the Chocolate they use in Otis Spunkmeyer Chocolate chocolate chip muffins that are oh so delicious but always leave me wanting more chocolate. Jury is still out on that one. But it's a large large chunk. I'd buy again in fact I'mGonna get the milk chocolate next.

Chocolatarian’s Delight (Be Careful Who Vendor Is)
Not all vendors are equal.Chocolaat, see picks, send bar broken in 3 pieces and pathetic excuse for no freezer pack - “how to unmelt the melted chocolate we sent.” Unprofessional.Amazons rotation of supplier is disconcerting. Product has not been consistent (some marvelous, others not so much so).As a member of the family put it, we’re not chocoholics (simply people who are addicted to or excessively fond of chocolate) were chocolatarians—it’s a devotion to taste, flavor, richness, how it is prepared, how does it taste straight. It’s a way of life.This chocolate approximates a 70% not yet bittersweet and more than semisweet flavor. Yet it’s creamy smooth as if it were milk chocolate. Complex in flavor. You can taste the different flavors and notes as you roll it over your tongue (the proper method to eat chocolate on its own).Yes. Bought this brick to eat a piece everyday. It replaced Scharffen Berger 70% 9.7 Oz. To think that once thought the Scharffen Berger was the super premium available to the public. It’s got nothing on this.And there’s a luxurious element in receiving the equivalent in size of a gold brick, only better because it’s chocolate.

Great Chocolate but he packaging method…
Great chocolate and delivered ahead of time. I would have given five stars however, I’ve ordered twice and both times a significant piece of the bars was cracked off. I would suggest maybe wrap in bubble wrap or a different method to prevent this. For the cost, I would like the chocolate bars whole upon opening.

Says semi-sweet still quite sweet for me
I used it for making nama chocolate or to eat directly. Tasty. It is hard to be cut into smaller pieces though.

Sorry about the earlier review. I hope this makes up.
I mistaken gave there people a bad review earlier that they did not deserve, completely by mistake on my part. Look, I fornicated upward. I'm due at least 1 Mulligan in life aren't I? Seriously‽ Not even one‽ Dang! You people are cold, man.I've used these Chocolates before. They are a known quantity to me. I find Callebaut chocolates to be of superior quality. I'm not a "professional" pâtissier by any stretch, but I do have a B.S. in Organic Chemistry, and I understand the crystallization process of organic molevules, so I think I have a good command of the process involved in tempering chocolate. That's why I chose desert making as a hobby. I came to the above conclusion after some fair amount of experimentation. As a scientist, the experimentation to achieve optimal results is half the nut.Callebaut isn't the cheapest. If that's what you want, buy Nestle, and I don't mean that in a derogatory way. As I said above, I've compared Callebut to many of it's competitors, both foreign and domestic as it were, and, in my opinion, Callebaut has a superior taste. It's combination of taste "notes", I find the most pleasing to my pallet. I feel they have the proper ratio of cocoa solids, cocoa butter, and sugar.We ran out of Callebut recently right before my wife''s birthday. She likes a dessert I make called pots de crème. I used, what I thought, was going to be an adequate substitute, and I couldn't get them to set up.If you're iffy on the price thing, try a smaller portion size, and see what you think. If you can't tell the difference, then you'd be somewhat silly to pay the extra. Well, unless you're serving your smancy, labor intensive desert to someone who might. Sure it's not that big a deal for probably 75% of the people out there.But, as long as you're putting in all that effort into a labor of love, then...Just sayin'.Latere 'taters.-dc
