Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
What's 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 certified Vegan by the French Vegetarian Association (AVF).
How does Amatika replace milk?
In Amatika White 35%, powdered milk is replaced with 21.8% defatted almond powder. In Amatika 46% (milk alternative), it is 16.1% almond powder. The result: a naturally sweet, toasted almond flavor profile.
Is Amatika tempered like conventional chocolate?
Yes, exactly the same way. The tempering curves are almost identical to those of traditional white/milk chocolate (40-45 °C / 26-28 °C / 28-31 °C depending on the product). No adjustments to your professional routine are needed.
What pairs well with Amatika?
Amatika 46% pairs well with orange blossom, jasmine, marzipan, banana, peach, and lemon. Amatika White 35% goes 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 (traces may be present). For severe allergies, check the package label for the exact statement.
