Chocolate

Premium chocolate for baking & confectionery

Premium chocolate plays a central role in sweet goods and confectionery. It shapes everything from taste and texture to shine and snap. Our products are crafted for professionals who need consistent quality and excellent workability across a wide range of chocolate applications.

Often referred to as couverture-style chocolate, this type of premium real chocolate is designed for tempering, molding, enrobing, and for high-end finished goods where taste and appearance truly matter.

Our solutions support:

  • Molding and enrobing, where tempering, shine, and snap matter
  • Decorations and finishing touches, from shavings to coatings
  • Sweet baked goods, including cakes, cookies, muffins, and filled products
  • Ganache, fillings, and flavoring, with cocoa powders and chocolate liquor
  • Bake-stable inclusions, such as chips and chunks that hold up in the oven

Premium chocolate for every application

Great chocolate creations always start with the right type of chocolate. As a professional, you are looking for solutions that guarantee consistency. Our Puratos couverture-style chocolate is chosen for its classic taste and premium finish, giving you the shine, snap, and richness consumers expect from real chocolate.

Our range includes both Belcolade and Chocolanté, with the right chocolate solution for every type of production:

  • Belcolade is our real Belgian chocolate crafted for high-end confectionery and refined flavor profiles, including origin chocolates and Cacao-Trace selections.
  • Chocolanté is our brand of locally crafted chocolate tailored to US consumers’ flavor preference, from Cacao-Trace to Organic certified wafers, bake-stable chips and chunks, and ready-to-use shavings.
    To support your creativity and efficiency, our couverture-style chocolate solutions are available in multiple formats: liquid, solid, drops, wafers, chips, chunks, shavings, cocoa butter, and cocoa powder.
