Hi,
I've been using Callebaut cocoa butter (deodorised) so far for my dark and milk chocolates.
I've got no complaints from a taste point of view, but I now have the opportunity to buy Belcolade cocoa butter (also deodorised) at a much cheaper price.
Has any of you used Belcolade deodorised cocoa butter? Is it similar to Callebaut's?
My recipes would typically include 6-8% cocoa butter for dark, and 20+% for milk
Thanks,
Patrick

I haven't tried it, so I don't know.
That said, if I was in your situation, I'd give it a go and test it. If both have been deodorised, then it should be neutral in terms of odour and taste. Also, large companies tend to have blended sources of beans when they make cocoa butter, so while the melting point etc might be different between the two, I can't imagine it would be enough to make a noticeable difference in your chocolate.
Report back and let us know if you do some testing.
