Cacao Barry Fleur de Cao 70% is a professional dark chocolate couverture with an intense cocoa character, pronounced bitterness and moderate acidity. Made from a carefully balanced blend of cacao beans from Latin America and Africa, it offers a complex flavour profile with floral aromas, red-fruit nuances and subtle woody notes.
Its high fluidity allows it to melt and flow smoothly, making it especially suitable for moulded chocolates, thin shells, bars and even coatings. Fleur de Cao is an excellent choice for pastry chefs and chocolatiers seeking a bold, aromatic dark chocolate that brings depth and sophistication to confectionery, pastry and frozen desserts.

Summer Shipping:
At above 26°C, cocoa butter in chocolate products may start melting, and recrystallize as white streaks or marks on the chocolate's surface. This phenomenon is called 'fat bloom'. While it may not have the perfect appearance, bloomed chocolates are safe to eat and use in recipes.
During summer months when the temperature is relatively warm, we advise adding cold packaging to your shipment in order to minimize the risk of melting. While we are careful and diligent in maintaining the temperature of your package, we unfortunately cannot guarantee the products in the cold packaging will not be affected by unusually warm weather and irregular transit time.
