Bitter chocolate pieces

Description

Bitter chocolate chips are characterized by an intense, slightly bitter taste with fruity and nutty notes, as well as a shiny, smooth surface; they can come in various sizes and thicknesses, from small chips to thick broken bars. They contain concentrated cocoa butter and cocoa solids, providing calories, unsaturated fats, a small amount of protein, and minerals such as magnesium and iron; due to polyphenols and flavonoids, dark chocolate may support heart health and have antioxidant effects when consumed in moderation. In the kitchen, dark chocolate chips are great for baking, mousses, ganache, ice cream, oatmeal, or warm desserts, as well as for contrasting with savory dishes and sauces. Store them in a cool, dry place, tightly sealed, away from strong odors; avoid moisture and frequent temperature fluctuations, and the refrigerator is only recommended in very warm environments, with prior packaging to protect against condensation.
