Hint of Banana
Kidavoa is a Valrhona milk chocolate made using a technique that ferments Madagascan cocoa beans with bananas.
After launching its first Double Fermentation dark chocolate, Valrhona once again turned to its long-term partner, the Millot
Plantation in Madagascar, to develop Kidavoa 50%. As partners of more than 20 years’ standing, we worked hand in hand to adapt our exclusive Double Fermentation process to a milk chocolate recipe. The Millot Plantation and our experts came up with the idea of combining Madagascan fine cocoa with locally harvested bananas to create a milk chocolate with unique aromatic notes.
When the cocoa has fermented once as tradition dictates, a second fermentation is triggered by adding pulp from locally sourced fresh fruit. For Kidavoa, this is banana. This fruit is naturally sugar-rich and comes from the same terroir as the cocoa, giving the chocolate a unique aromatic character.
A very carefully managed technique is used to infuse the cocoa’s aromas with notes of banana.
