Dulcey blond chocolate 35% 

Dulcey 35% is a Valrhona innovation, introduced in 2012 as the fourth color of chocolate. This blond chocolate, born from an accident, offers a smooth and enveloping texture with biscuity and subtly sweet notes. Its shortbread flavor with a hint of salt and caramelized milk is perfect for indulgent and addictive creations. Use Dulcey to make creams, ganaches, coatings, molded chocolates, mousses, and sorbets. It pairs ideally with fruits such as apricot, banana, and mango, as well as with coffee and caramel. 

Guanaja 70% Dark Chocolate 

Guanaja 70% is a must-have for dark chocolate enthusiasts. Created in 1986, it offers exceptional aromatic complexity thanks to its blend of cocoa beans from seven distinct terroirs. With its roasted notes, subtle bitterness, and aromas of dried fruit, Guanaja is ideal for mousses, creams, and ganaches. Made in France, this chocolate showcases Valrhona's century-old expertise, offering remarkable intensity to enhance your pastry creations. 

Jivara 40% Milk Chocolate 

Jivara 40% is Valrhona's iconic milk chocolate, renowned for its perfect balance of sweetness and intensity. With its malty and cocoa notes, Jivara is ideal for making mousses, creams, and ganaches. Its blend of cocoas from Ecuador and Ghana guarantees a smooth and velvety experience. Use Jivara for entremets, molded chocolates, and coatings for chocolate candies, and pair it with raspberries or praline for indulgent creations.
