Frequently asked questions
What is cocoa butter used for in baking?
Three main uses: (1) tempering chocolate (add 1% of the chocolate's weight at 33-34°C to pre-crystallize it and achieve a perfect shine), (2) thinning chocolate that's too thick, and (3) cooking food as an alternative to oil or butter. Withstands temperatures above 200°C without burning.
How do you temper with Valrhona cocoa butter?
Melt your chocolate at 40-45°C, then let it cool to 34-35°C (dark) or 33-34°C (milk/white). Add 1% cocoa butter in callets or drops (10 g per 1 kg of chocolate). Mix well. Work at 31-32°C for dark chocolate, 29-30°C for milk/white. A fast, reliable method that doesn't require tabling.
Valrhona cocoa butter vs. Cacao Barry Mycryo?
Mycryo is a Cacao Barry trademark for finely powdered cryogenized cocoa butter. Valrhona cocoa butter in callets or drops serves the same purpose and has the same properties (100% pure). The difference is the form: Valrhona callets/drops are handled with a spoon, while Mycryo is sprinkled. Both work at 1% of the chocolate's weight.
How do you use it for savory cooking?
Melt 1-2 tablespoons of cocoa butter in the pan, or coat the food in it before cooking. Ideal for searing meat, fish (scallops, foie gras), and vegetables at higher temperatures than traditional butter. Neutral flavor that doesn't mask other flavors. 50-70% fewer calories than cooking with butter.
Which size should you choose: 3 kg or 10 kg?
3 kg in callets: regular use, an advanced home workshop, or small-scale pastry making. 10 kg in drops: chocolate workshops and professional bakeries with daily consumption. The 10 kg format offers a better price per kg.
