PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Republica del Cacao - Chocolate Batons 48% 300 ct (box of 6) bring rich Ecuadorian cacao flavor to classic laminated and enriched pastries. Made with fine-aroma cacao from Ecuador, these ready-to-use chocolate batons have an expressive profile of roasted cacao, nuts, and toasted bread, adding depth and character to every bite. Their convenient stick shape makes portioning simple and consistent, while their format is specifically designed to be baked directly into pastry for an easy, professional chocolate-filled finish.

Designed especially for viennoiserie, these chocolate batons are a classic choice for pain au chocolat, chocolate croissants, and other filled pastries. Place them inside laminated dough before proofing and baking to create a rich chocolate center surrounded by crisp, buttery layers. The 300-count box provides a generous supply for professional production, making it easy to maintain consistent chocolate portions across batches. Beyond traditional French-style pastries, they can also be incorporated into brioche, Danish pastry, sweet rolls, and other baked creations where a structured chocolate filling is desired. With their distinctive Ecuadorian cacao profile and ready-to-use format, Republica del Cacao Chocolate Batons 48% make it simple to add a polished chocolate element to everyday pastry production.
