Almond Inspiration

A fruit couverture is a Valrhona innovation that replaces cocoa with fruit powder. Composition: cocoa butter + sugar + fruit. It is worked exactly like white chocolate (melting, tempering, molding), but with a 100% natural fruit flavor and color. No added coloring or flavoring.

The curve is slightly lower than that of classic white chocolate: melting 45–48°C, crystallization 26–27°C, working 28–29°C. Important: while melting, keep stirring continuously because Inspiration couvertures have a thicker texture than traditional chocolate.

Because Inspiration recipes are made from natural fruit (with no coloring or preservatives), they are more sensitive. Store the creations in the back room at a maximum of 18°C, protected from light. Sell within a maximum of 4 weeks. Opaque packaging significantly extends their shelf life.

Yes, absolutely. Inspiration couvertures are perfectly suited to whipped ganache thanks to their composition (cocoa butter + sugar + fruit). Follow a white chocolate whipped ganache recipe, simply replacing Ivoire with your Inspiration couverture. Chill for at least 12 hours before whipping.

The fruit powder naturally contains fiber and pectin, which thicken the mixture. This is why you need to stir continuously while melting and slightly adapt your recipes (for example, add a little more cream to ganaches).
