Yuzu Inspiration Fruit Couverture - 8.8 oz
Inspiration Yuzu is part of Valrhona's Inspiration range, a range of fruit couvertures. Yuzu fruit couverture is a preparation based on yuzu, a Japanese citrus fruit, with cocoa butter. It is worked like a classic chocolate. This Yuzu fruit couverture wonderfully expresses the sweetness and bitterness of yuzu, Japan's emblematic citrus fruit.
History of the Inspiration range
It was in 2016 that Valrhona innovated by creating a new range. The ingredients are simple: fruits, cocoa butter and sugar. However, the technique required for a fair balance is a feat. This clever alchemy reveals aromas and an intense color without preservatives, colorings or artificial flavors. Thus, Valrhona now offers all pastry enthusiasts the opportunity to create colorful and naturally fruity creations. Valrhona's technical expertise and know-how were rewarded with the Grand Prix de l'Innovation at SIRHA 2017.
What to pair with the Inspiration Yuzu fruit couverture?
The tangy aromas of this Inspiration fruit couverture blend nicely with fresh notes such as citrus fruits or Timut pepper. Also dare to combine Inspiration Yuzu with more daring notes such as balsamic vinegar, aromatic plants (jasmine, lavender, etc.). Finally, Inspiration Yuzu also pairs very well with exotic fruits such as coconut or mango.
Tips for using Yuzu Inspiration
The Inspiration Yuzu fruit couverture is perfect for fruit ganache. It is also recommended for making delicious and colorful icings. Finally, it is also suitable for making fruit molds or mousses.
