PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Bring a beautifully balanced expression of white chocolate to your pastry and confectionery work with Republica del Cacao Ecuador White Chocolate 35% (16.5 lb). Made with carefully selected cocoa butter from Ecuador, this professional couverture offers a smooth, creamy profile accented by notes of fresh milk, gentle sweetness, and natural vanilla.
