We have carefully selected Callebaut Belgian Chocolate to highlight our chocolate products.  Although there are many fine chocolates out there, Callebaut's focus on quality, tradition and giving back speaks directly to the D'Avolio philosophy. 

Started in 1911, Octaaf Callebaut, grandson of a brewer in the small Belgian town of Wieze, secretly created his first chocolate recipe. To this day, Callebaut continues to select, roast and grind their own cocoa beans.  In order to protect the cocoa the beans are roasted in their shell, to keep in all the aromas and subleties.  Doing this yields a more intese, complex and deeper cocoa flavor.  A flavor that is recognizable in every classic Callebaut couventure chocolate.

All ingredients in Callebaut's chocolates are ground extremely fine, giving a smooth consistency.  They add pure cocoa butter and a dash of natural vanilla to round off the taste.  Let the chocolate melt in your mouth, the flavor continues for far longer than many other chocolates.

For every pack of Finest Belgian chocolate purchased, Callebaut® reinvests a part in sustainable cocoa cultivation and community programs in the West African cocoa growing communities.
