Callebaut No 823 Finest Belgian Milk Chocolate Callets Couverture 33.6% - 1Kg
Callebaut 823 is the Belgian chocolatier's benchmark milk chocolate couverture: 33.6% cocoa with a pronounced caramel-and-milk profile, sold as small callets (drops) that melt evenly without chopping. As a true couverture it carries more cocoa butter than baking chips, so it tempers to a glossy, hard-snap shell — which is exactly what a Dubai chocolate bar needs around a soft pistachio-kataifi filling. The 1kg bag is the practical home format: enough for several batches of bars or molded shells, and it stores well sealed in a cool cupboard. If you're choosing between Callebaut's couvertures, 823 is the sweeter crowd-pleaser; the 811 dark is its more bittersweet counterpart, and the two blend well for a middle road.
