Frequently asked questions
What is a fruit couverture Inspiration?
A fruit couverture is a Valrhona innovation that replaces cocoa with fruit powder. Composition: cocoa butter + sugar + fruit. It is worked exactly like white chocolate (melting, tempering, molding), but with the fruit's 100% natural flavor and color. No added coloring or flavoring.
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: while melting, stir continuously because 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 coloring or preservatives), they are more sensitive. Store the creations in the back room at a maximum of 18°C, protected from light. Sell within a maximum of 4 weeks. Opaque packaging significantly extends their shelf life.
Can you make 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 couverture. Rest for at least 12 hours in the refrigerator before whipping.
Why is the texture thicker than chocolate?
Fruit powder naturally contains fiber and pectin, which thicken the mixture. This is why you need to stir continuously while melting and slightly adjust your recipes (for example, add a little more cream to ganaches).
