Valrhona Caraibe 66% Dark Chocolate Feve 6.6 lb. - 3/Case

Details

Richly chocolatey and complex with an exquisitely balanced bitterness, this Valrhona Caraibe 66% dark chocolate has become the benchmark for gourmet confections. Named for the Caribbean islands that inspired its creation, Caraibe features a unique and consistent mix of cocoa beans that's expertly blended to comprise flavors typical of chocolate sourced from the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Jamaica, and Togo. The result is an intense, richly bitter chocolate whose flavor blossoms to reveal notes of warm spices, toasted nuts, and dried fruits, with woody highlights and a grilled appeal. Its taste concludes with a lingering, oaky finish, while a touch of real vanilla helps to balance the bittersweet chocolate's flavor. This product's authentically chocolatey yet accessible flavor and consistent blend makes it a top choice of culinary schools, test kitchens, and gourmet establishments.

Valrhona's proprietary feve format features an oval shape with an indented center. This shape is suitable for a variety of applications, making this chocolate a versatile addition to your menu. Melt the feves down for use in chocolate sauces, cake batters, buttercream frosting, chocolate beverages, or candies and truffles, or use the melted chocolate to create molded shapes or coat fruit, nuts, and other morsels. Try roughly chopping the feves to use in chocolate chunk cookies or rich dark chocolate brownies! This Caraibe 66% cacao dark chocolate is especially well suited to coating and molding applications and is perfect for making decadent chocolate ice cream and sorbet. You can also serve one or two pieces of chocolate alongside dessert coffee as an elegant conclusion to your meals or on charcuterie boards for something slightly sweet. When considering pairing notes, opt for rich, roasty flavors like coffee, caramel, pecan, almond, and vanilla that complement the chocolate's balanced bitterness, or brighter, zesty flavors like lemon zest, lemongrass, and cinnamon to provide a note of contrast.
