Callebaut Rustic Fleur de Cao 70% is a Blend of Origins dark chocolate with 70% minimum cocoa solids, crafted through the careful blending of cocoa beans originating from Ecuador, Tanzania and Ivory Coast. The diverse terroirs of Latin America and Africa combine the fruity character of Latin American cocoa with the full-bodied, earthy character of African cocoa, creating a complex and multi-layered flavour profile.

The flavour opens with dominant roasted cocoa notes, providing depth and warmth. Delicate spicy nuances gradually emerge alongside balanced sweet and sour notes. As the flavour develops, spicy, floral and yellow fruit notes come to the forefront, complemented by lingering sweetness. Callebaut's detailed flavour profile also highlights tropical and yellow fruits, roasted cocoa, floral and spicy notes.

With its Blend of Origins character, complex flavour profile and high fluidity, Rustic Fleur de Cao 70% is a versatile chocolate for professional pastry and chocolate applications. Callebaut recommends it for moulding chocolate creations, as well as for ganaches and desserts where depth and complexity are desired. It is also suitable for chocolate bars and tablets, bonbons, truffles, cakes, tarts, brownies, cookies, macarons, Viennoiserie and other professional pastry applications.
