Canadian here. Is there anywhere to get reasonably priced bulk chocolate chips or chunks for baking, in Europe, that ship to North America?

Fuck Amazon. I won’t pay an oligarch or a fascist dictator a penny so they can invade my country and turn us into a puppet state. We have not used chocolate for months for not finding a good option yet.

No thanks on Amazon or any American company or product.

This is the whole reason for the question.

Callebaut is a common supplier for bakeries in Europe. That stuff is definitely not slavery free though.

Yea we have Callebaut in Canada as well. It’s also ~$100/cad for 2.5 kg or ~$25/500g. That’s a do without kinda price for us. I get we have to expect to pay more but we simply don’t have the means for that.

2.5kg is about 60 euros for me in the Netherlands. That is about 95 CAD, so not much of a difference.

I discovered Tony’s a few months ago and I’ve been loving their bars. A bit pricey, but it’s worth it.

The others are cheap because of child labor and pesticides. It’s what gives the extra kick when eating them ;)

They arent as expensive as you may think, they usually weigh more than the “normal” bars you get, so if you calc the price per weight its actually competetive
