The W2 recipe in 5 kg block form. Same chocolate as our callets — 28% cocoa, vanilla and dairy forward, sweet but not cloying — supplied as a solid wrapped block rather than discs.
Blocks make sense when you are melting large volumes at once. There is less surface area, so less air contact and slower oxidation in storage, and the price per kilogram is lower than the same recipe in callets.
The trade-off is handling: you chop before you melt, and you cannot weigh out 200 g without cutting into the block.
Working notes
- Cocoa solids: 28% minimum
- Fluidity: 3 of 5 — medium
- Working temperature: 28–29°C
- Format: 5 kg wrapped block
Best for
Volume melting, moulding, colour work, mousse, decoration. White chocolate takes cocoa-butter colouring cleanly, which is why coloured and decorated pieces almost always start here.
A note on temperature
White needs 28–29°C at working temperature — several degrees below dark. The milk solids scorch if you treat it like a dark chocolate, and scorched white chocolate cannot be recovered.
Ingredients & dietary
Sugar, whole milk powder, cocoa butter, emulsifier: soya lecithin, natural vanilla flavouring. Contains milk and soya.
Storage
Sealed, 12–20°C, dry and away from light and strong odours.
