Chocolaterie de l’Opéra Deltora 70% dark chocolate chips are crafted from fine cocoa beans grown in Panama’s Bocas del Toro region, where rich soils and a tropical climate produce cocoa with remarkable aromatic complexity. Roasted using the company’s proprietary Séquencia® process, this chocolate opens with bright, tangy notes and restrained sweetness before revealing layers of vanilla, plum, and licorice. The finish is long and elegant, marked by lingering cocoa intensity and exceptional balance.
Designed for professional pastry and confectionery applications, these 70% dark chocolate chips offer both technical performance and distinctive flavor. Their nuanced profile makes them particularly well suited for ganaches, mousses, molded chocolates, baked goods, and desserts where the character of the cocoa is meant to shine.
The cocoa for Deltora is sourced from the Quebrada Limón plantation, part of an innovative agroforestry project operated by Forest Finance. Developed to promote biodiversity, restore soil health, and support sustainable cocoa farming, the project carefully selects and cultivates fine cocoa varieties chosen for their flavor, adaptability, and productivity. Each variety is fermented separately to preserve its unique aromatic qualities, while specialized drying techniques help ensure consistent flavor despite changing climate conditions.
For four generations, the Loisy family has dedicated itself to producing exceptional chocolate products exclusively for culinary professionals. Today, Nicolas de Loisy continues that legacy, sourcing outstanding cocoa beans from around the world and transforming them through meticulous craftsmanship and innovative processing techniques. The result is the signature Chocolaterie de l’Opéra style: a harmonious balance of intensity, elegance, and aromatic complexity.
