HISTORY

Hukambi 53% is a chocolate liberated from gastronomy's established conventions. It combines a luminous and intriguing
indulgent quality with powerful Brazilian cocoa flavors. Reveal all the ideas you have never dared to express and redefine
your creativity.

ORIGIN

Brazil is one of the oldest cocoa producing countries. Valrhona has maintained a close partnership with Mr. Libânio since
2009. Located in one of the world’s most diverse ecosystems, the Mata Atlantica (an official UNESCO “Biosphere Reserve”),
the Libânio company is driven by a philosophy that advocates for harmony between people, soils and plants in a sustainable
environment. As these values are fundamental to Valrhona, it felt natural to develop the new Hukambi 53% couverture.

"Hukambi is a chocolate that combines all the indulgence and pleasure of rounded cocoa notes. The intense cocoa and milk aspects to its character mean it can be used to create very flavorsome desserts and interesting blends of different notes."

Rémy Poisson, Pastry Chef Instructor at l'Ecole Valrhona
