Customer Review: taste is awful
When I was incarcerated in a Mexican prison, this was the only drink in the joint. We had to fix it with goat's milk and heat it over an open flame in the yard. The taste is awful. It's not pleasing like the thick, hot Chocolate found in Madrid.
Customer Review: A few corrections
I just wanted to correct what some of the other reviews are saying: A. It's not an "acquired" taste, that kids will probably not like: I grew up with Ibarra, it was a once in a blue moon treat. I loved it as a kid and preferred it to Swiss Miss or Nestle or any other hot chocolate. B. Although I'm sure you can make Ibarra hot chocolate with a blender I have never once seen someone make it like that. It's really simple: Take two wedges and melt them in a cup or so of milk (any kind) or water and just whisk it or use a wooden spoon. Ibarra is may favorite hot chocolate. I've introduced others to it and they've never had a bad thing to say!

Chocolate - Bittersweet - 1 kg Callets

This bittersweet chocolate (couverture) is excellent for eating, enrobing cakes with a thick layer of chocolate, preparing dense chocolate fillings and ganache, and for piping chocolate decorations. These callets are round drops of pure chocolate, easy to melt or temper, weigh, and store, and a divine taste in recipes calling for chunks of chocolate. The callets are made using 100% pure cocoa butter and a dash of natural Madagascar Bourbon vanilla that rounds off the taste with a slight sweet hint. Pure chocolate requires tempering to obtain a high gloss for chocolate making.
70.4% cocoa solids.
1 kilogram/2.2 pound bag.
Kosher (dairy) [not repackaged under kashrut supervision].
Callebaut Dark Chocolate, 70-30-38NV. Product of Belgium.
This item has been repackaged from a larger size and is not in the manufacturer's original packaging.
Note: Due to the nature of this product, the chocolate may melt during shipping. This does not ruin the chocolate; the chocolate is perfectly fine. Occasionally there may be light-coloured streaks or film on the surface of the chocolate. This occurs naturally and is a characteristic of pure chocolate. It will disappear when the chocolate is re-melted.
Customer Review: Good chocolate.
The chocolate flavor shines in this bittersweet chocolate. The "callets" are the right size for melting easily (I used them for truffles). This is good chocolate, worth the price.
