Callebaut100% Cocoa Mass Easymelt 2.5kg

Perfect for Keto!! Unbelievably good product. Taste is rich and the texture is smooth. Taste varies from drop to drop, some are very bitter, others are sweet so if eating raw, I eat them 3 or 4 at a time to get a blend. I also use these in cakes as chocolate chips and melt them down to use for other things. These are great to eat as they are with a hand full of nuts. I havent tried the ever recommended lilys chocolate chips as they are poor value for money here in the uk, but these I would assume are a perfect substitute. These are 100% cocoa mass with 0.3g of sugar per 100g. While the cost initially looks high, it is incredibly good value for the enormous bag provided putting it on par with value supermarket 90% chocolate but with less sugar. I’ve had these a month and haven’t put a dent in them yet! Packaging is excellent. The bag is strong and the resealable strip is a game changer! Highly, highly recommended but please note; 100% cocoa is an acquired taste even if you like normal dark chocolate.

For the last few years I've ben buying Montezuma's Absolute Black chocolate (the price of which has become prohibitive given how much I consume) and having about 15g-20g each morning as an energy boost and as a mood enhancer. I don't know how common this is, but it seems to work as a mild antidepressant on me. I like the taste and that it melts quickly because it come as little buttons of chocolate, plus it has no sugar added. I love the big valcro seal that helps keep it fresh. It works out a lot more economical overall, so I'm made up that I found it -- thanks so much!

I didn't realise chocolate easily goes off when being stored. This was initially great when used with some Truvia sweetner and milk to make hot chocolate. After a few months I noticed I'd feel unwell using this for my hot chocolate. Maybe I didn't stick to any use-by date or follow storage instructions correctly but something to be aware of if you buy one of these for extended usage over a long time.

Firstly, these taste amazing on their own. Even my sweet toothed husband (who is slowly adapting to dark) eats these straight from the bag. To be honest I will happily eat these and leave the other chocs I make for hubby! They taste rich and like a top quality, high cocoa content, chocolate (those with some added sugar etc). I bought this to use in keto and diabetic recipes after seeing great reviews. I have made peanut butter cups with it and they still taste good but I have to add sweetener for my husband's and it makes an already thick mixture much harder to work with. However, this is cocoa mass so expected that and I will buy cocoa butter next and make a proper chocolate mix up as this tastes heavenly and will be worth doing properly. It will still work out much cheaper than using Lindt 90 to make my chocs. My keto rum truffle mix was heavenly with these, without any need for cocoa butter too though. I can see why this brand is so respected!

I HAVE BEEN BUYING THIS PRODUCT FOR A FEW YEARS NOW AND HAVE AQUIRED THE TASTE AS A TREAT WHICH DOES NOT SPIKE MY BLOOD SUGAR/GLUCOSE READINGS.

THE PRODUCT HAS A BEST BEFORE DATELINE OF 29/05/2026BUT OWING TO THE COST OF THE PRODUCT I EXPEXT THE GOODS TO BE PRISTINE.ON GOING THROUGH THE REFUND/RETURN PROCESS IT CAME UP AS UNRETUNABLE OR REFUNDABLE. HOWEVER ANOTHER DIALOG BOX FOR FURTHER HELP FROM THE AI ASSISTANT RESULTED IN A FULL REFUND WITYH NO NEED TO RETURN.I WILL BUY THESE AGAIN BECAUSE I LIKE THEM (AND THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF CONSUMING THEM BRINGS) BUT FELT I HAD TO SHARE THIS EXPERIENCE FOR EVERYONES BENEFIT.

This is absolute gold! I would stop there, but this is a review 😀.I had bought this a while back as a treat for when I started a low carb/sugar diet and this being 100% cocoa mass meant no added sugar/carbs to worry about.. until COVID 19 happened and the stress baking begun - that’s when this bad boy came out to play!I have found every excuse to include it in EVERYTHING I have baked during this period including cupcakes, oat muffins, cookies, ganaches and a birthday cake!Absolute value for money as you really don’t need much before it becomes too much, so adjust and taste as you go, whatever you’re making. I enjoy dark chocolate, mostly 85% (Lindt) but this has dared me to go hard and I’m afraid I might be a bit of a chocolate snob ( and a few kilos heavier) by the time the quarantine is over!Go on then.. treat yourself! 😉
