Hi,

I want to buy Dark Chocolate in bulk, around 20 lbs per week. I'm
having trouble finding a source. I've used Schraffen Berger, which is
great quality, but they are too expensive for me.

Any ideas where I can buy bulk dark chocolate??

Is this for a business? I ask because Linnea's sells to businesses
and carries Guittard, Peter's, Callebaut, and others, but I don't
think they sell to individuals. Here is a web link:

My wife uses Wilbur and Peter's in her chocolate shop. They have
a couple of dark chocolates. I prefer their Brandywine Bittersweet.
Callebaut has some nice ones also. You can poke around on the
web sites of the manufacturers and some of them have links to
distributors.

The obvious choice is Chocosphere, www.chocosphere.com - they're the largest
Internet-based chocolate retailer. I don't know very well how their prices
compare, since they're local to me (Portland, OR) and are cheaper for me to
buy from just due to not having to pay for shipping.

Speaking of shipping, you should find a source local to you or budget for
having to pay for warm-weather packaging during the summer months (or all
year 'round if you're in Hawaii!).

Two more possible places.

Hope the dark chocolate you prefer is at one or both of these sites!

If you live in a city of 250,000 or more then you should have at least
one restaurant wholesaler supplier that will carry good chocolate or
at least get it for you without charging you anything extra for
shipping or very little at most. Call your better restaurants and ask
them what kind of chocolate they use and where they get it.
You shouldn't have any difficulty.
