Guittard Chocolate Company Launches New Chocolate Batons Built for Foodservice
June 25, 2026 | 2 min to read
Guittard Chocolate Company has introduced its newly formulated chocolate batons, developed for professional bakers, pastry chefs, foodservice teams, and manufacturers working with laminated dough.
The launch brings a more technical and performance-driven approach to a familiar bakery format, backed by the perspective of a 158-year-old San Francisco chocolate maker and the oldest continuously family-owned and operated chocolate company in the U.S., reflecting Guittard’s continued focus on helping chefs, bakers, and makers create with better chocolate options.
The reformulated 50% cacao batons were created with the realities of professional production in mind, from early-morning bakery runs and wholesale deliveries to pastries that may sit in a cafe case for hours before the final bite.
They also support cleaner handling, more consistent placement, reduced breakage, and strong chocolate flavor through baking, with Non-GMO, gluten-free, peanut-free, tree nut-free, and OU Kosher attributes that offer added flexibility for foodservice and production teams.
