VALRHONA’S NEW 60% COCOA DARK COATING
COUVERTURE *
was developed specially to enhance the aromatic complexity of the
different fillings used, with a strong desire to offer a not-too-sweet taste.
By using a blend of different cocoas from different origins, this new coating
offers delicate cocoa notes right from the start. The intensity and sophistication
of the fillings thus emerges in perfect harmony with the couverture. It then
releases an extremely agreeable finish with long chocolate notes and
a taste that’s not too sweet
The coating plays a key role in the enjoyment of an individual
chocolate bonbon.
bonbon. It makes the first contact with the tastebuds when
tasting. It also provides the last aromatic notes of the experience like a
gustatory signature.

HOW CAN YOU MAINTAIN THE QUALITY
OF YOUR CHOCOLATES?
FRESHNESS AND QUALITY
In order to preserve all the freshness, quality, texture and taste of the PREMIUM range
over time, Valrhona uses special packaging allowing the chocolates to be stored at 4°C.
A special film protects the chocolate bonbons from ambient humidity, thus avoiding any
condensation and limiting the risks of whitening.

STORAGE ADVICE
PACKAGING AND WEIGHT
- Individual chocolate bonbons: 2kg box. 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These coloring agents have now been replaced by non-azo food coloring in all Valrhona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.
