REPUBLICA DEL CACAO Ecuador 40% Caramelized – Milk Chocolate Couverture

Republica del Cacao

$34.00

Made with fine aroma cacao and whole milk from Ecuador, this 40% caramelized milk chocolate couverture revives a traditional process in which the milk is caramelized slowly and naturally. The result is a warm, deeply flavoured milk chocolate with notes of caramel, honey, roasted nuts, biscuits and toffee.

Its darker milk chocolate colour, pronounced caramel character and medium-high fluidity make it a distinctive and versatile choice for professional pastry and chocolate work. It delivers enough cacao depth to remain expressive in ganaches and mousses while flowing smoothly for moulding, enrobing and decorative coatings.

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.

Thank you

Tried a few different varieties of chocolate at Gusta Supplies.

Was drawn to this one because the caramelized sweetness was quite pleasant.

Good to eat as is or use a topics/additives. Quite milky so I'm not sure how well it would do when making bon-bone.

Disclaimer: I am not a practicing pastry chef.

Great customer service as always thank you Gusta Supplies
