That should be 40% OFF!
Some of you folks who live close together might consider making a bulk order and splitting it.

Quantities are limited on products.
This is the site where I've ordered my block chocolate for years. Many come in the flat block package you saw Nan holding: 5 kg = 11 pounds. That may seem like a lot, but you can use over 2 pounds just making Ina Garten's Outrageous Brownies.
And I've read enough about chocolate from professionals to believe them when they say good quality chocolate will last over 2 years. Even if it gets a bloom on it, the chocolate is still fine for baking. White chocolate, though, didn't seem to last quite as long. One year seemed max on that.
Last time I ordered unsweetened disks as well...those are a charm to work with.
The only issue is this link does not give prices. The last time I ordered (2 years ago) I paid $45 for 11 pounds of 70% bittersweet & $42 for 11 pounds of 55% semisweet. I've also bought gianduja (hazelnut sweet chocolate, aka Heaven On Earth), white chocolate, unsweetened disks. I don't know what the prices are now given the news about rising chocolate prices.
There is also a link for Canadian products.
Qzina has facilities in Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Illinois, and New Jersey. They will ship from the closest to you.
Canada has Vancouver, Edmonton & Toronto sites.
I've always called in my order, they validate my credit card via faxed signature and I get the order within a few days.
If you love to try new stuff, having bulk chocolate like this is a dream. I gloat ever so slightly everytime I see the half pound chunks of the SAME STUFF shrinkwrapped at Whole Foods for 3 times what I paid for it.
