Answers: I am looking for characteristics of Belgian chocolate that makes it different from other chocolate.
I am a former chef and love working with it, the first 2 respondant have raised good points, the Belgians learned the technicques from the Swiss and have refined them more today and use the highest quality ingredients and production methods
I prefer theres over any other Callebeut is the best, and here in Canada we have a Bernard Callebeut shops acrossed Canada and it is shipped all acrossed th country too, if your looking for a good supplier on the net, look to Jacques Torres site he is in Brooklyn NY and I have had several of his products including the Hot Pepper- Hot Chocolate Mix.
Usually has more cocoa in the mix as in 70% or higher.
Historically, Belgian chocolatiers were among the first to reliably conch and temper chocolate, improving its smoothness, appearance and consistency. And they were leaders in inventions such as cream fancies.
Today, the best Belgian, French and Swiss chocolate makers all produce products of similar excellence, if of varied flavors and focus.
