PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Callebaut - Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Gianduja 25% - 11 lb combines smooth, creamy milk chocolate with pure, medium-roasted hazelnut paste for a rich and indulgent gianduja with a beautifully balanced nutty flavor. Its pale golden color and luscious texture bring the classic combination of milk chocolate and roasted hazelnuts to pastries and confections, creating a finished product that feels both elegant and comforting. The mixture is conched and tempered to develop a smooth, homogeneous texture with a satisfying mouthfeel.

The semi-solid gianduja is exceptionally versatile in the pastry kitchen. Cut it into pieces for confectionery creations or soften it for piping into molded pralines, chocolate shells, bars, and tablets. When melted, it can be incorporated into ganaches, mousses, bavarois, crémeux, ice cream, and other pastry interiors, or used to add rich hazelnut character to desserts and baked creations. It also works beautifully in enrobed pralines and molded chocolates, where the creamy filling can be paired with a contrasting chocolate shell. The generous 11 lb format provides a practical quantity for professional chocolatiers, bakeries, pastry kitchens, and restaurants working regularly with hazelnut-forward fillings and flavoring ingredients.
