To melt the chocolate, break it into pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, ensuring the bowl does not touch the water. Stir gently until smooth. Alternatively, microwave in short bursts, stirring between each, until melted. For baking, chop the chocolate into desired sizes for even distribution in batters and doughs. It can also be shaved or grated for garnishes, adding a decorative and flavorful finish to cakes, pastries, and hot beverages.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to milk chocolate, this 70% cacao variety has a less sweet and more pronounced cocoa flavor. Its texture is typically firmer, and it possesses a deeper, more bittersweet taste. It is less likely to become grainy when melted due to its lower sugar content.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
Store any remaining chocolate in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and strong odors. Ensure it is wrapped tightly or in an airtight container to maintain its freshness and prevent it from absorbing unwanted flavors. Avoid refrigeration, as this can cause it to develop a bloom.
