Flavor Profile Cocoa-Rich

Secondary Notes Cereals

Hint of Roasted Almond

With the birth of Amatika 46%, Valrhona has marked a milestone in the history of decadence by creating the first plant-based couverture, with single origin Madagascar cocoa beans. As the result of passionate teamwork between sourcing teams, cacao producers, innovation and sensory experts and L’École Valrhona’s pastry chefs, Amatika 46% brings a singular sensory profile to contemporary plant-based pastry-making, much like one might experience when tasting a milk chocolate and the typicity of the pure Madagascan cocoa beans that goes into it.

Amatika 46% combines the sweetness and creaminess of almond with the aromatic potency of Madagascan cocoa beans. Unparalleled taste and texture to meet the needs and creativity of pastry chefs and artisans the world over. An outstanding plant-based ingredient, Amatika makes vegan pastry-making easy, delicious, accessible and ethical, offering you a vast range of potential flavors and textures and a great way to unleash your creativity
