Callebaut is a Belgian coverture chocolate manufacturer owned by the Barry Callebaut group and based in Belgium. It was founded in 1911 by Octaaf Callebaut in Belgium. Coverture chocolate contains high amounts of cocoa butter and is often used by gourmet and culinary professionals. Many professionals who use Callebaut coverture chocolate use it for its workability and consistent taste.
The company's core chocolate range is manufactured in Belgium from bean to chocolate according to traditional recipes. For over 100 years, Callebaut has used the whole-bean roasting technique, rather than just roasting cocoa kernels. This technique allows preservation of all flavors and aromatic oils within the cocoa husk and fully releases them in the chocolate.[1]
