(*Kosher Parve K-P) Dimensions: Length : 16.5" Thickness: 1.5" width : 9.5" Review: Excellent For Eating and Cooking - I purchased this enormous block of chocolate from the seller named “World Wide Chocolate”. It arrived quickly, and was very well packaged (including thermal insulating bubble wrap, and 4 cold packs!). If you are wondering about which chocolate to purchase I suggest you check out the callebaut website for a wealth of information about taste, viscosity, and so on. This particular 54% chocolate is, to my taste, neither bitter nor sweet. It works well shaved directly onto vanilla ice-cream, and is also very good consumed with a big glass of milk [way, way better than milk-and-cookies :-) ]. My wife uses it for cooking cakes, making icing, and as the key ingredient in peculiar rich chocolate bars called Nanaimo Bars in my part of the world. This is simply one of the best chocolates I’ve ever experienced for eating and cooking. If you love chocolate I suggest you give it a try. Regarding storage - I’ve seen many opinions here on desertcart but I suggest you check out the callebaut website’s advice before deciding how to proceed. They advise against refrigerated storage, and explain why. I keep ours in a dark closet, wrapped in it’s shipping packaging, and take out just a pound or two at a time as it is needed. Review: Best ever chocolate and great customer service - I’ve ordered this chocolate in the past, just for family use. The taste, quality and texture make for a wonderful afternoon treat. Unfortunately, the eleven pound package I ordered in May has been lost in transit. When I contacted the company, they gave me a complete refund. I used that refund to order it again and it looks like it will arrive by 8PM today. The people in the company have always been professional, polite, and interested in shipping a great chocolate. Thank you to them! Yes. The chocolate arrived before 8pm. ## Features - Net weight 11-pounds - Includes 53% cocoa - Good for decorating and moulding - Imported from Belgium - Kosher certified ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0018OKA1Q | | ASIN | B0018OKA1Q | | Age Range Description | 18+ | | Best Sellers Rank | #214,958 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #348 in Baking Chocolates | | Brand Name | Callebaut | | Cuisine | Belgian cuisine | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (24) | | Diet Type | Kosher | | Item Form | Bar | | Item Weight | 11 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Callebaut | | Manufacturer | Callebaut | | Product Dimensions | 18 x 10 x 2 inches; 11 Pounds | | Set Name | Single block | | Size | 11 lbs | | Specialty | Kosher | | Sweetness Description | Bittersweet | | UPC | 778894313567 | | UPC | 778894313567 | | Unit Count | 11 Pounds | | Units | 11 Pounds | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Callebaut - **Item Form:** Bar - **Item Weight:** 11 Pounds - **Specialty:** Kosher - **Sweetness:** Bittersweet ## Images ![Dark Block 54 % (11 lb) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41VEWwyKfGL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Could someone please confirm the Callebaut reference number for this bar. (For example, is this 811NV?) The picture is not clear enough to show it.** A: Yes. The Block is 811NV **Q: Is this a bitter or semi sweet chocolate?** A: Semi- sweet. The higher the cocoa mass content (54%) the more bitter the chocolate . For a bittersweet you would want a high 60's low 70's percentage. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent For Eating and Cooking *by J***Y on July 13, 2016* I purchased this enormous block of chocolate from the seller named “World Wide Chocolate”.

The taste, quality and texture make for a wonderful afternoon treat. Unfortunately, the eleven pound package I ordered in May has been lost in transit.

The chocolate arrived before 8pm. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is the best chocolate! *by L***E on January 11, 2013* This chocolate is worth it's weight in gold. Melts perfectly, flavor is heavenly and it is pure top quality! It was shipped well and arrived promptly. I will reorder this. Take my advice and for a few dollars pick up a chocolate cutting tool, it will make it easier and safer to break up the chocolate. This chocolate is such a stand out, use it for ganache (easy just melt & add cream) to glaze your cakes , cupcakes, cheesecake, pies & cookies. Great for molten lava cakes. Break into chips or chunks, your choice for excellent chocolate chip cookies. May I add, eat and enjoy, lower calories than milk chocolate and lots of antioxidants. Yes people, it's health food! You can buy with with the assurance it is as good as I said and it is worth every penny. I'd rather have one good bite of great chocolate than a basketful of poor quality chocolate. ## Frequently Bought Together - Callebaut Dark Block 54 % (11 lb) - Callebaut White Baking Chocolate - 11 lb (11 pound) (11 Lbs) - Callebaut L-60-40 Belgian Dark Chocolate Baking Block 60.6%, 1 Block / 11 pounds --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/7763774-dark-block-54-11-lb](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/7763774-dark-block-54-11-lb) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-01*
