Callebaut 823 Milk Chocolate Callets — 33.6%

The milk counterpart to 811, and the most widely used milk couverture in professional work. At 33.6% cocoa with 20.8% milk solids, 823 is built to taste like milk chocolate should — creamy and rounded, with caramel warmth coming through the cocoa rather than sitting on top of it.

Medium fluidity makes it forgiving across applications. It moulds cleanly, enrobes at a sensible thickness, and behaves reliably in ganache where higher-fat milk chocolates can turn soft.
