The average weight of an individual chocolate bonbon is 10g. - Bouchées: Box contains 24-36 units. The average weight of a Bouchée is 35-40g. WHEN YOU RECEIVE YOUR CHOCOLATES - Keep the boxes properly closed in a cool place at around 16°C and away from light, which can turn fats rancid. Milk and white chocolate, pralinés and nut decorations and particularly sensitive to this. - Avoid sudden changes in temperature between the room where the chocolate are stored and the chocolate display case. Sudden temperature changes can cause bloom on chocolate. CAUSES OF WHITENING - Fat whitening is caused by a rise in temperature provoking the fusion of fats. After a few days, the fats reset on the surface leaving that characteristic whiteness. - Sugar whitening is caused by a very damp environment or condensation. This makes the sugar dissolve which then resets on the surface after the water has evaporated. INFORMATION REGARDING OUR NEW COLORINGS Following the publication of regulation 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on food additives, Valrhona has decided to no longer use so-called “azo” food colorings in its products. These coloring agents have now been replaced by non-azo food coloring in all Valrhona individual chocolate bonbons. Chocolaterie VALRHONA - 26600 Tain-l’Hermitage - France - Tél.
