Perfect Patisserie with Tantalising Tropilia 53% & 70%
In this month’s trip to the Valrhona Cocoa Library, we’re taking a peek at two of Varhona’s Professional Signature range couvertures, Tropilia Noire 53% and Tropilia Amer 70%.
Find our past explorations into the Valrhona range on the Keylink blog.
Truly Tropilia
Valrhona’s Professional Signature range was created for chefs and designed to be hardworking, consistent and versatile. With chocolate couvertures, pralines and cocoa in all its forms, it’s the ideal collection of ingredients to bring your creations to life.
Both Tropilia Amer 70% and Tropilia Noire 53% were designed to be used in indulgent chocolate fillings, whether you whip up a ganache to fill your macarons or a mousse for an elegant entremet. Noire 53% boasts a balanced, mild cocoa flavour that won’t overpower the other ingredients in your desserts, while Amer 70% is a cocoa-intense dark chocolate that will give your culinary creations a more pronounced cocoa taste.
Valrhona is a proud B Corp, a label that recognises the most ethically committed companies, meeting the highest standards in their social and environmental impact, and every one of their couvertures is made from responsible cocoa. Not only do Valrhona’s range of chocolate couvertures all boast a unique flavour profile, they’re made from the finest quality, sustainable beans and are helping to make a real difference in the chocolate industry.
