How to use
Consume the bar directly at room temperature to assess its aroma and mouthfeel, or chop and melt it gently for use in sauces, ganaches, mousses and baked goods. For tempering, follow standard chocolate tempering procedures to achieve a stable glossy finish: heat, cool and rewarm within the recommended temperature ranges for dark chocolate. When baking, incorporate into recipes according to cocoa percentage—71% will contribute pronounced chocolate flavor and less sweetness, so adjust sugar levels as needed.
Usage recommendations
Store the chocolate in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odors, ideally between 15–20°C and at moderate humidity. Allow refrigerated or chilled bars to return to room temperature in their packaging before opening to avoid condensation. For culinary work, bring the chocolate to a consistent working temperature and use a fine grater or knife for controlled portions.
