Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between vegan and plant-based?
The term "plant-based" refers only to the origin of the ingredients (from plants). The term "vegan" goes further: it guarantees the complete absence of animal-derived ingredients throughout the production chain, with no animal testing. Amatika is certified Vegan by the Association Végétarienne de France (AVF).
How does Amatika replace milk?
In Amatika Blanc 35%, milk powder is replaced by 21.8% defatted almond powder. In Amatika 46% (the milk alternative), it is 16.1% almond powder. The result: a naturally sweet, toasted almond flavor profile.
Can Amatika be tempered like classic chocolate?
Yes, exactly the same way. The tempering curves are almost identical to those of traditional white and milk chocolates (40–45°C / 26–28°C / 28–31°C depending on the product). No adjustments are needed to your usual professional methods.
What pairings work with Amatika?
Amatika 46% pairs well with orange blossom, jasmine, almond paste, banana, peach, and lemon. Amatika Blanc 35% pairs well with cherry, rhubarb, anise, violet, black truffle, rosemary, as well as raspberry, lemon, and coconut.
Is Amatika suitable for people with lactose intolerance?
Yes. Amatika contains no dairy products. However, it is made in a facility that handles milk (possible traces). For severe allergies, check the sachet label for the exact wording.
