Black ganache

[Ibake]

Years ago I bought a chocolate, probably bitter sweet, and I believe it came out of Canada.  This product was darker than unsweetened chocolate and made a gorgeous black ganache with a wonderful sheen. It was probably a 25 lb box and was in disc form.  Does anyone know what it is?

Are you sure it wasnt 90% cocoa  disc?  I get them from time to time from a friend and they make a very dark ganache .

Maybe try asking Kerry Beal:

What suppliers might you have bought from in Canada - that might help us narrow it down?

Kerry, I do to have records from that long ago, I just went into my basement with fingers crossed. I even contacted the Pastry Chef who introduced it to me, and he thought it was Peters, so I might be totally wrong!

Could it be  this?

It most definitely was not in block form, no chopping required! I have also sent Peters an email, hoping they might know what it is!

Funny - found a really dark looking Peter's online when I was researching your question - would explain 25 lb boxes - most from the states rather than Canada.

Peter's Cambra looks pretty dark.
