Chocolaterie de l’Opéra Passionato 62% dark chocolate chips are a versatile couverture chocolate crafted from a carefully selected blend of premium cocoa beans sourced from the Caribbean, Southeast Asia, and the Indian Ocean. Though not a single-origin chocolate, each cocoa variety is processed individually before blending, allowing its unique characteristics to contribute to a remarkably balanced and expressive final profile. The result is a chocolate that combines technical performance with broad aromatic complexity.
Passionato opens with a gentle sweetness before unfolding into rich cocoa notes layered with flavors of candied prunes and raisins. As it melts, the fruit and cocoa become increasingly harmonious, leading to a full-bodied, rounded finish that lingers pleasantly on the palate. Built from a blend of Criollo and Trinitario cocoa varieties, it offers both elegance and depth, making it an excellent choice for ganaches, mousses, molded chocolates, pastries, ice creams, and baked goods.
Its balanced flavor profile and consistent performance have made Passionato a cornerstone of the Chocolaterie de l’Opéra collection, delivering the refinement of fine cocoa while remaining exceptionally adaptable across a wide range of pastry and confectionery applications.
For four generations, the Loisy family has dedicated itself to producing exceptional chocolate products exclusively for culinary professionals.

The result is the signature Chocolaterie de l’Opéra style: a harmonious balance of intensity, elegance, and aromatic complexity.
