Ghirardelli Chocolate Company 100% Cacao Unsweetened Wafers, 5lb. Bag (Pack of 1)

The Ghirardelli 100% Cacao Unsweetened Wafers have become a long‑term favorite in our home. The quality is exactly what you’d expect from Ghirardelli — rich, smooth cacao with a deep chocolate flavor that works well for baking, melting, or adding to recipes that need pure cocoa without any added sugar.My mom enjoys taking one wafer a day simply because she likes the taste and believes it’s a good addition to her routine. While it’s not something backed by medical or scientific claims, it’s a small daily habit she enjoys, and she’s turning 83 this year — still active, still working, and living a full, productive life. For her, these wafers have become a simple, enjoyable part of her day.The 5‑pound bag is a great value, especially if you use cacao regularly. The wafers store well, melt evenly, and stay fresh for a long time when kept sealed. Amazon makes it easy to compare sizes and prices, and this bulk option is definitely worth it if you go through cacao quickly.What I LikedDeep, rich 100% cacao flavorSmooth texture that melts evenlyGreat for baking, drinks, or daily useExcellent value in the 5‑lb bulk bagStays fresh for a long time when stored properlyAmazon helps you find the best price and sizeThings to Keep in MindCompletely unsweetened — best for those who enjoy pure cacaoThe bulk bag is large, so plan for storageOverallThese Ghirardelli cacao wafers are high‑quality, versatile, and a great value for anyone who loves pure chocolate.

DELICIOUS. The only company offering 100% cacao with less ingredients (processed stuff).

Great wafers and versatile for your recipe, add sugar to your requirements etc. Fantastic product

I broke these down into smaller bags and put them in the freezer. I eat a hand full each night as my carnivore/ketovore diet dessert. I think it will go for a long time. They are tasty. Expensive, but will last a long time.

I thought these were the worst tasting cacao wafers I or cacao period, that I ever tasted. It doesn't taste near as good as the other brands I purchased in the past but I am now getting used to the taste and the quality I received and freshness helps make up for that. I see other people got bags have melted so I guess it happens to all companies now and then seeing that's why I tried this brand. Last bag I got from a different company was a disaster.I do not like how once you cut the bag open, which is VERY big, you cannot reseal it. That makes no sense. But yeah, the taste is nothing to write home about but at least they are fresh and seem very good quality.UPDATE: As fresh and quality "looking" these wafers are, they still taste nastier than any other brand I've tried and while I did get used to the nasty taste as I LOVE the affect and energy cacao gives me, so I can sacrifice the taste to an extent for the affect. But I've now noticed they make me feel a little nauseous and honestly kind of crappy. So bought the old brand just to see if it was something else causing it. And not only did the old brand make me feel like cacao normally makes me feel as well as tasting WAY better, but also I didn't need to eat half as much to get me charged up and going. I'll Never buy these again 🤮

Love Ghirardelli chocolate. It's rich and tastes like those fancy French and Belgium chocolates, maybe even better. You get a huge bag of dark rich unsweetened chocolate to make whatever you fancy. The wafers tend to melt more smoothly than the chips do (chips usually have some kind of ingredient added so they stay whole in cookies, etc.). I will get plenty of use out of these wonderful chocolate wafers. I plan to make low-carb candies and nuts with them. Maybe some baking too.

I love these and have ordered previously but the increase in price is prohibitively expensive!!

Overpriced

Excellent quality.Low heavy metal count (see the Consumer Reports article on heavy metals in chocolate)

Worked fine in my chocolate making

Very high quality

as advertisedthe price is very volatile
