Notes about packaging chocolate:
For your convenience, Olivenation re-packages some Valrhona and Callebaut items from larger size couverture bags into smaller size bags. Therefore, items may not arrive in the manufacturers original packaging.

The save you time because you don't have to shave or break it into pieces. It is ready to use and the flavor is exceptional (It may melt down a little more than typical chips in baking). Moderate-to-thick in viscosity, it can also be used for """"medium"""" (rather than """"thin"""") shell moulding and dipping, and will produce a slightly thicker shell. It has a darker color, an intense cocoa taste, smooth with caramel flavours and creaminess. Product of Belgium. Ingredients: 33% cocoa solids, 21.8% milk solids
Storage and Shelf Life:
Chocolate must be kept in a cool (preferably below 65 F) and dry environment. When kept in proper storage chocolate can be in good condition for a year or two or even longer. Chocolate is susceptible to picking up """"off notes"""" from strongly flavored products such as caraway, onion, garlic, etc., and should be stored separately.
Occasionally there may be light-coloured streaks or film on the surface of the chocolate. This occurs naturally and is a characteristic of chocolate. It will disappear when the chocolate is re-melted.
