The
Guittard 41% semi-sweet chocolate 4M baking chips have been
carefully made from bean to cocoa, crafted with generations of French
artisan chocolate-making experience. With a pleasantly rich chocolate
flavor with dark, biting undertones for a dynamic complexity, these
chips are made with superior ingredients to showcase the natural terroir
and post-harvest practices. When making these chips, Guittard only uses
a special blend of non-GMO certified cacao beans with respect to Mother
Nature, transforming the natural beauty of cacao into uniform chocolate
chips. For further improvements on their chocolate's flavor and
quality, Guittard continuously works with the government and local
organizations in the cacao's country of origin, protecting the natural
flavor profiles of the regions' cacao to ensure the unique taste and
aroma for all of their chocolates.
Monitoring every step in the
chocolate making process is essential for Guittard as they pride
themselves on achieving the most natural flavor profile, ensuring
eco-friendly and long-lasting growing practices, and equality for all of
their growers. Guittard then invests in various ways of naturally
fermenting cacao beans to develop certain flavor characteristics, and
then sun drying beans that are specifically raked in traditional drying
patterns. From there, the beans are shipped to Guittard's
state-of-the-art headquarters in California to finish the carefully
curated process of turning naturally grown cacao into Guittard's famous
chocolate.
Essential for any bakery, chocolate shop, or
restaurant, cafe, and gelateria that uses the finest products, these
chips are more than an ingredient: they are the multi-dimensional
element that takes your recipe to the next level. Temper these chips to
create the perfect set, snap, and shine to coat your truffles, fresh
fruits, or to create chocolate masterpieces to adorn cakes or make into
showpieces. Melt the chips to use as an ingredient when baking airy
souffles, spongy cakes, rich ganache, silky pastry cream, or smooth ice
cream. Or, fold these chips into your batters for signature, premium
baked goods.
For five generations, Guittard has been endlessly
evolving their artisanal craft to bring the most flavorful, sustainable,
and socially responsible chocolate to the industry. During the
California Gold Rush in the mid 1800's, Etienne Guittard discovered the
demand his chocolate garnered among the wealthy chocolate miners and,
with his newfound passion, grew his business into a leader in the
chocolate industry. Through their stewardship, Guittard has donated
funding, time, and product to community projects across America, worked
to continually reduce their environmental impact, and empowered their
cacao growers in order to obtain a chocolate that contains optimal
flavor, quality, and value. At Guittard, their chocolate not only
enhances flavor profiles, but helps them unite the world through social
responsibility, sustainability, and equality. It's true what they say:
chocolate cures all.
