Review: Our favorite semi-sweet - Gret for cooking; just the right pop of chocolate flavor for us. Also good when we snitch a bit for snacking. Review: The best! - This is the best overall chocolate I have ever used. Excellent in all applications. Deep flavor, lightly sweet. Excellent texture and mouthfeel. If you have never invested in a quality chocolate this is well worth it,, if you use a lot. Store it alone, airtight and cool and dark, it will last for years, though the flavor diminishes after about 3 years ( lost track of some in the pantry...)

On the back label it lists cocoa mass, sugar, cocoa butter, soy lecithin, natural vanilla flavoring. Hope this helps you. **Q: is this vegan friendly?** A: I found ingredients listed as unsweetened chocolate, sugar, cocoa butter, soy lecithin (an emulsifier), natural vanilla flavor. Not sure how this is not vegan - maybe how the sugar or lecithin is processed? **Q: does this item contain nuts or peanuts** A: It does not, however it might have been made in a factory that handles nuts/peanuts. I have been using their products for years and their chocolate is wonderful **Q: What is the difference between this and the 54%. Is one sweeter? I'm looking for a medium cocoa eating dark chocolate. Sweeter is better.** A: This is for baking, not eating. For that, you don't need a multi kilo log. You should be shopping for smaller bars in bulk, perhaps. There are better brands for eating than this. Most American chefs who are looking to save money use Guitard. Valhrona is what the pros prefer. If you like dark chocolate, 60 percent is probably a better bet. 70 is for combining with milk, again, for candies, baked goods. This is what hotels and caterers buy, but never is served on a plate. They prefer this because when it's cut with a knife it blends better than callets, pellets, chips etc. It incorporates well in baking. For eating, you should eat less. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our favorite semi-sweet *by S***3 on February 13, 2026* Gret for cooking; just the right pop of chocolate flavor for us.

Outstanding Value! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Must-Have In Our Pantry!!! Delicious!!! *by A***R on January 19, 2020* Delicious semi-sweet chocolate that makes awesome ganache. I add chunks of this chocolate to my brownies and this makes the brownies out-of-this-world!!! This is also perfect to use on flourless chocolate cakes. It has just the right amount of sweetness. I’ve tried the Callebaut 60% and found it a little too bitter. I also have Callebaut 70% and use it rarely. It is for those who really like bitter chocolate. I don’t drool over those chocolate offerings in fancy and expensive bakeshops anymore! I have this! I also have Callebaut White Chocolate by the way. They make such a great pair! I’m so happy I got to know about these awesome chocolates from Callebaut! ## Frequently Bought Together - Callebaut Chocolate Block Semisweet 54.5% cocoa (11 Lb) - Callebaut Finest Belgian Chocolate Select Milk 5kg - For Baking Use - Callebaut White Baking Chocolate - 11 lb (11 pound) (11 Lbs) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ie/products/52353368-chocolate-block-semisweet-54-5-cocoa-11-lb](https://www.desertcart.ie/products/52353368-chocolate-block-semisweet-54-5-cocoa-11-lb) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ireland* *Store origin: IE* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
