PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Callebaut Ghana 40% Milk Chocolate (5.5 lb) is a smooth, origin-focused couverture from Callebaut’s Signature Collection, crafted to highlight the clean, balanced character of Ghanaian cocoa. With 40% minimum cocoa solids, 20% minimum milk solids, and 40% fat, it offers a rich milk chocolate profile with a silky texture and a luxurious melt.

The flavor opens with gentle sweetness and creamy dairy notes, then unfolds into roasted cocoa warmth, classic caramel, and a soft chestnut-like richness. Callebaut describes its most prominent flavors as milky, roasted cocoa, and classic caramel, with a smooth, mouth-coating texture that feels indulgent without overwhelming the palate.

Designed for professional use, this milk chocolate has very high fluidity, making it especially helpful for precise molding, elegant enrobing, panning, bars, tablets, and molded bonbons. It also works beautifully in ganaches, mousses, cakes, cookies, macarons, ice cream, gelato, beverages, tarts, truffles, and other pastry applications where you want milk chocolate flavor with refined origin character. Callebaut Ghana 40% also supports the Cocoa Horizons Program, which reinvests in sustainable cocoa farming and cocoa-growing communities.
