Dark Baking Chocolate Guanaja 70% - 35.27oz

In 1986, Guanaja was the first dark chocolate with such a high cocoa content. This couverture set new standards for dark chocolate, with a unique blend of cocoa beans from 7 different terroirs. Guanaja 70% has quickly become a benchmark in pastry-making, with its unique taste created from the aromatic profiles of cocoa beans from Trinidad, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire and Madagascar.

Adam V. ★★★★★

Snapping off a square to melt into brownies, I was worried 70% would taste bitter, but it's surprisingly smooth with a deep fruity note underneath. The 35oz block is huge for the price and holds up well chopped into chunks for cookies too.

James ★★★★★

I bought the 35oz block mainly to chop into chunks for cookies, and the way it snaps and melts is honestly a step up from the chips I used before. The 70% is dark enough to keep the cookies from tasting too sweet, though it's still smooth enough to nibble on straight.

Scarlett L. ★★★★★

The 70% cocoa content hits that perfect balance between rich and not too sweet, and the couverture melts like a dream for ganache. I’ve already used half the box for brownies and a birthday cake, and the flavor stays deep and complex even after baking.
