To melt the chocolate, break it into small 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, it can be melted in the microwave on low power, stirring every 30 seconds. Once melted, it can be used for various culinary applications. For baking, it can be chopped and added to batters or doughs, or melted and incorporated into sauces and ganaches. Its intense flavor also makes it suitable for finishing desserts.
How it differs from similar foods

It lacks the milk solids found in milk chocolate, which contribute to a creamier texture and sweeter profile. The absence of milk also allows the pure cocoa notes to dominate.

How to keep the rest
Store any remaining chocolate in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and strong odors. Ensure it is tightly wrapped or in an airtight container to maintain its freshness and prevent it from absorbing moisture or other flavors from the environment.
