The taste of your Callebaut milk chocolate is determined by

different components that form a unique harmony.

The blend or origin of the cocoa beans

For our traditional chocolates, Callebaut composes blends of different

cocoa bean varieties. These give the chocolate a very

balanced and rounded taste. The blends guarantee a constant

taste: 823NV produced today will taste exactly the same as

823NV produced tomorrow.

Roasting the beans

The roasting of the beans is done very carefully and at very

precise temperature. It is the only possible way to release the

precious flavours and aromas present in the cocoa beans.

The milk selected

Some milk powders – or rather the milk fats in the milk – will

caramelise during conching and will give the chocolate typical

caramel flavours. Other milk powders give a more milky or

creamy taste.

Cocoa content

A higher cocoa content gives a chocolate more intensity. This

does not necessarily mean bitterness, since some cocoa bean

varieties are very mild and not bitter at all.
