HISTORY

Équatoriale Noire was designed to meet the specific technical need for the most suitable chocolate for coating. With its rounded vanilla character, Équatoriale Noire underlines the flavor of the preparation it coats without dominating it, enhancing the other elements of the recipe. This expert couverture is particularly easy to work with.

BLEND

Behind Équatoriale Noire’s consistent taste lies complex blending expertise, adapted over time to follow the aromatic profiles of the cocoa batches we source throughout the year from some twenty countries. The result is a chocolate that’s balanced in taste and texture that you will love to use every day
