Essential Trio — 811 Dark, 823 Milk & W2 White · 3 × 2.5 kg

The three Callebaut recipes that cover most of what a kitchen does — dark, milk and white — in one order, at a lower price than buying them separately.

What's in the box

• 811 Dark 54.5% — 2.5 kg · the professional standard for ganache, moulding and enrobing
• 823 Milk 33.6% — 2.5 kg · real cocoa body behind the caramel sweetness
• W2 White 28% — 2.5 kg · balanced rather than sugary, takes colour cleanly

Total 7.5 kg · $21.73 per kilogram

Who it's for

A new kitchen stocking up for the first time, or an established one that runs all three colours and would rather place one order than three. All three are medium fluidity (3 of 5), so they temper and handle the same way — only the working temperature changes.

Working temperatures

• 811 Dark: melt 45 °C, seed to 27 °C, work at 31–32 °C
• 823 Milk: work at 29–30 °C
• W2 White: work at 28–29 °C

White sits lowest because milk solids scorch; dark sits highest. Our Technique guides walk through the method.

Storage

Sealed, 12–20 °C, dry and away from light and strong odours.
