Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
What is a fruit couverture?
A fruit couverture is a Valrhona innovation that replaces cocoa with powdered fruit. Composition: cocoa butter + sugar + fruit. It is worked exactly like white chocolate (melting, tempering, molding), but with the natural taste and color of the fruit. No added colorants or flavorings.
How do you temper an Inspiration couverture?
The temperature curve is slightly lower than for classic white chocolate: melting 45-48 °C, crystallization 26-27 °C, working 28-29 °C. Important: keep stirring continuously while melting, as Inspiration couvertures have a thicker texture than traditional chocolate.
How long can I keep my Inspiration creations?
Since Inspiration recipes are made with natural fruit (without colorants or preservatives), they are more sensitive. Store creations in the back room at a maximum of 18 °C, away from light. Sell within a maximum of 4 weeks. Opaque packaging significantly extends shelf life.
Can you make a whipped ganache with Inspiration?
Yes, absolutely. Inspiration couvertures are perfectly suited to whipped ganache thanks to their composition (cocoa butter + sugar + fruit). Follow a white chocolate whipped ganache recipe, simply replacing Ivoire with your Inspiration. Chill for at least 12 hours before whipping.
Why is the texture thicker than chocolate?
The fruit powder naturally contains fiber and pectin, which thicken the mixture. That is why you should stir continuously while melting and slightly adjust your recipes (for example, add a little more cream to ganaches).
