Hi Everyone! In January I will be opening my third location, after which I will need to plan for and build a commissary to make chocolate for all of my future stores. For the first few years, the commissary will far over produce what my stores can consume, so I am exploring the option of selling some of the chocolate and chocolate related products (70% dark, nibs liquor, etc) on a wholesale basis to various local restaurants. The question I have, is for all of you who buy bulk chocolate for your business, what would you typically pay per kg for 1.a premium quality couverture 2.milk chocolate 3.nibs 4.liquor I'm not asking for trade secrets here - just prices you are typically quoted by your suppliers. Thanks in advance Brad

Brad - I don't get large scale/wholesale discounts on my couverture buying. I get competitive retail given I can buy up to 10kg at a time, but that's it. I pay AUD$18.40/kg for good quality couverture. That said, Aussie prices can be high for chocolate due to freight to get it here.
