Valrhona Dark Chocolate - 55% Cacao - Equatoriale Noire - 6 lbs 9 oz bag of feves

I have been using the chocolate for bakery for some time. The delivery package was extremely good and the seller tried their best to protect the item from the heat during the summer. Love it.

Love the quantity, great for lots of baking

I'm not a huge dark chocolate fan, but I wanted to make a variety of different chocolates, so I purchased this, along with some of their milk chocolate. Their quality is second to none! This stuff is wonderful to work with. Easy to temper. Mixes perfectly with the milk chocolate to give a milder mid-depth flavor. It's just super yum!

Great quality to make chocolates!

The Chocolate is amazing, the manufacturer stated the expiration date is 14 months out from the time the product is made. When I received it from Amazon, it only had approximately 8 1/2 months left. At the high cost and not being a restaurant, I was concerned about me being Able to use all the product before the expiration date ended. I know some chocolates can be stored longer than the expiration date, not sure about this one! Which is the only reason for me not giving it a 5 star rating!

Spoiler alert -i used that much chocolate. Pretty quickly too. You’re not gonna find better chocolate. Do yourself a favor.

Valrhona makes top-notch chocolate and Caraibe is usually my go-to choice for a fudgy chocolate without too much fruit/bright taste notes. However, the chocolate from this seller was not the usual quality. It had a chalky, dry texture and was covered with a thick coating of fat bloom. Indeed the expiration date was only a few months' away. Buyer beware.

It seems to taste ok! But as I said, the chocolate was glazed over white once it came.
