If you are looking for dairy-free chocolate bars, then you should know that, by definition, dark chocolate bars (couverture) contain only cocoa mass, cocoa butter (NOT a dairy product) and sugar (unless it is 100% cocoa mass with...

If it’s the couverture chocolate of theirs you want, Queen of Tarts on Roncesvalles has it.

Actually, if chocolate is brought above 120, it can’t be correctly tempered. I just found a good video here on Chowhound on how to temper chocolate that confirms this. I buy untempered couverture chocolate. I’ve seen...

I too am looking. I DID have a source (Tessera Chocolate website) but it is now gone. They supplied me with some great couverture chocolate. All companies but Cluizel add lethicin to their chocolates to which I am very allergic....

If you really want consistent results with melted chocolate, you might want to get some "couverture" chocolate instead of working with chips. The chips are formulated and tempered in such a way that they will hold their...

Chocoley but they don’t ship to Canada, and I tried Vermont Nut-Free but they apparently don’t sell either couverture or compound chocolate, just pre-made (not to mention their shipping prices, but I’m not in a...

Has any one had experience doing chocolate work with Scharfenberger chocolate? It’s not listed as a couverture, so I’m not sure if it’ll work well with molds etc. If not, what brand do you suggest? And do you...

I’ve only made this steamed chocolate pudding twice, but with good results. The chocolatiness of the pudding is best upped by using the darkest possible couverture and cocoa powder. Here’s the recipe I’ve used...

BS"D I’m sure you mean the 5 kilo bar, which is actually 11 lbs. And that’s the standard commercial size for couverture chocolate. the only difference is that the price paid would be much cheaper for the commercial...

Trader Joe’s. 100 gm Valrhona bars for under $3, in various %age cacoa. .Cheaper than here in Paris. You won’t find better couverture than Valrhona. I know not everyone agrees with that, but many of the top French...

I agree with krenton about doing it in the morning. You can MEP the couverture and cream tonight and make the ganache and glaze the cake in the morning. It will take about as much time as properly reheating the ganache in the...

of their chocolate I’ve seen look to be about half a pound – similar to the Callebaut bricks that come off their 5Kg couverture sheets. That seems like an awful lot of chocolate, but maybe there are more crackers in a...

I am definitely not a fan of the Pashkez or Lieber’s chocolates. During the year I use Callebaut and I’ve been staying away from chocolate on Passover. I recently discovered Le Chocolat. They have a wonderful pure...
