Valrhona chocolate confection 80% dominican republic

Valrhona’s new chocolate with no added cocoa butter CONFECTION 80%

While it’s essential for coating, molding, and making bars, couverture chocolate isn’t the best choice for some pastry and chocolate recipes that do not require added cocoa butter. With this in mind, and in keeping with its pioneering spirit, Valrhona has brought together all the expertise of its teams to develop a new chocolate range called CONFECTION 80% adapted to the specific needs of its customers. This range, made from cocoa beans from one single origin, with no added cocoa butter, brings together all Valrhona's expertise to make fillings (such as ganaches and crémeux), mousses, sponges, soufflés, or ice creams, in short, all those uses that don’t require fluidity.

The high cocoa percentage (80%) gives recipes an intense taste while the cocoa power can be declined in different cocoa intensities. With Valrhona’s Dominican Republic 80%, professionals can be sure they are choosing the most suitable chocolate for their recipe with the desired cocoa intensity.

Dominican Republic CONACADO

Valrhona works with Conacado and COOPROAGRO, two cooperatives committed to organic farming and fair trade. They use agroforestry to grow cocoa varieties specific to the Dominican terroir. Since 2016, Valrhona has been funding Cacao Forest, a pioneering project bringing together farmers, businesses, researchers, consumers and NGOs to create innovative farming models that will increase cocoa quality, cocoa trees’ productivity and producers’ quality of life, while protecting the environment.
