Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between vegan and plant-based?
The term "plant-based" refers only to the origin of the ingredients (derived 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 Vegan-certified by the French Vegetarian Association (AVF).
How does Amatika replace milk?
In Amatika White 35%, powdered milk is replaced by 21.8% defatted almond powder. In Amatika 46% (the milk alternative), it is 16.1% almond powder. The result: a naturally smooth profile with sweet, toasted almond notes.
Can Amatika be tempered like classic chocolate?
Yes, in exactly the same way. The tempering curves are almost identical to those of traditional white and milk chocolate (40–45°C / 26–28°C / 28–31°C depending on the product). No adjustments to your professional practices are required.
What flavors pair well with Amatika?
Amatika 46% pairs well with orange blossom, jasmine, almond paste, banana, peach, and lemon. Amatika White 35% pairs well with cherry, rhubarb, anise, violet, black truffle, rosemary, as well as raspberry, lemon, and coconut.
Is Amatika suitable for people who are lactose intolerant?
Yes. Amatika contains no dairy products. However, it is made in a facility that handles milk (traces may be present). For severe allergies, check the exact wording on the package label.
