Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
What is this Raspberry Inspiration variant?
Valrhona offers its Inspiration Raspberry fruit couverture in several specialized formats: sticks for baking, Croustibilles, and Perles Craquantes for pastry. They all retain their natural bright pink color and intense raspberry flavor, with no colorings or flavorings.
How do I use Petits Pains raspberry sticks?
Use them like classic chocolate sticks from a bakery: insert 2 sticks into laminated pastry dough to make raspberry pain au chocolat, or add them to a babka, filled brioche, or milk bread. They withstand oven baking without losing their color or flavor.
What's the difference between Croustibilles and Perles Craquantes?
Croustibilles are larger puffed cereal balls, ideal as inserts in entremets or as decorations. Perles Craquantes are smaller, with an explosive texture in the mouth, perfect as toppings or inclusions in mousses for textural contrast.
How should these varieties be stored?
Store at 16-18 °C, away from light and moisture, in the pouch resealed after opening. The varieties made with puffed cereals are particularly sensitive to moisture, which softens their crunch.
