The
Guittard Oban 100% liquor wafers have been carefully made from
bean to cocoa, crafted with generations of French artisan
chocolate-making experience. With a robustly dark, unsweetened cocoa
liquor and complementing notes of sour and bitter to add a dynamic
flavor profile, these wafers are made with all-natural ingredients to
showcase the natural terroir and post-harvest practices. When making
these wafers, 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 discs. 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 chooses specific cacao bean
varietals, invests in various ways of naturally fermenting cacao beans
to develop certain flavor characteristics, and 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 wafers are more than an ingredient: they are the
multi-dimensional element that takes your recipe to the next level.
Temper these wafers 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 wafers to use as an
ingredient when baking airy souffles, spongy cakes, rich ganache, silky
pastry cream, or smooth ice cream. Or, roughly chop these wafers for the
ultimate chocolate chunks to fold 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.
