Frequently asked questions
What is an Inspiration fruit couverture?
A fruit couverture is a Valrhona innovation that replaces cocoa with fruit powder. Composition: cocoa butter + sugar + fruit. It is worked exactly like white chocolate (melting, tempering, molding), but with a 100% natural fruit taste and color. No added coloring or flavoring.
How do you temper an Inspiration couverture?
The curve is slightly lower than that of classic white chocolate: melting 45–48°C, crystallization 26–27°C, working 28–29°C. Important: while melting, stir continuously because Inspiration couvertures have a thicker texture than traditional chocolate.
How long can I keep my Inspiration creations?
Because Inspiration recipes are made with natural fruit (without colorings or preservatives), they are more sensitive. Store creations in the back room at a maximum of 18°C, protected from light. Sell within a maximum of 4 weeks. Opaque packaging significantly extends shelf life.
Can you make whipped ganache with Inspiration?
Yes, absolutely. Inspiration couvertures are perfectly suited to whipped ganache thanks to their composition (cocoa butter + sugar + fruit). Follow a white chocolate whipped ganache recipe, simply replacing Ivoire with your Inspiration product. Chill for at least 12 hours before whipping.
Why is the texture thicker than chocolate?
The fruit powder naturally contains fiber and pectin, which thicken the mixture. This is why you need to stir continuously while melting and slightly adjust your recipes (for example, by adding a little more cream to ganaches).
