Brands of chocolate chunks (or bars to cut up)
What brands of good-quality chocolate do you recommend for cutting into chunks (unless it comes in chunks/ribbons/discs) for baking cookies, brownies, or a bread like isand66's Chocolate Cottage Cheese Tangzhong? I did Ian's wonderful bread with Guittard semisweet ribbons (I buy in bulk through a Guittard co-op at wholesale direct from the factory), and whatever bars were in my box. I'm in CA, would love to buy in a moderate amount of bulk if possible, and not pay a fortune in shipping. TIA!

Guittard's is the supplier to Sees Candies. They're still the most reliable quality of the "old line" suppliers in San Francisco. Are you having any problems with their chocolate?

No problems with Guittard, love having access to this co-op. I thought I had another barrel of sealed chocolate, but used it. The next order form won't come for a few months. I'm running short and just wondered what else is out there in bulk at good quality. Hate to buy by the bar unless I only need a little.
I know there's a Guittard co-op in Salt Lake City; ours is in the central valley area of CA. The coordinator in Livermore drives a bit to pick it up. My sister lives in Livermore and got me into it. It's a minimum 500 lb order to get the prices. If anyone's interested, let me know and I'll try to get contact info for the co-ops in the U.S.
