FAQs

Can I use this for cooking and baking?

Yes — it melts beautifully and works well in ganaches, mousses, brownies, and cookies. The 35% cocoa content gives a gentle chocolate flavour without overpowering other ingredients.

What coffee pairs best with milk chocolate?

Lighter filter coffees, flat whites, or a smooth single origin work best — the sweetness of the chocolate complements rather than competes. Avoid very dark or bitter espressos which can clash.

How should I store it?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odours. Ideal storage temperature is 16–18°C. Avoid the fridge — condensation causes sugar bloom on the surface.
