All About Hukambi 53% Chocolate (Tips & Tricks)

Why is Hukambi called an "Ombré" chocolate? The "Ombrés" category at Valrhona refers to chocolates that sit in the chiaroscuro zone between milk and dark. Hukambi has the color and power of a light dark chocolate but retains the creaminess and sweetness of milk. It is the perfect choice for consumers who find classic milk chocolate too sweet.

What are the best flavor pairings with Hukambi? Thanks to its cereal notes, it pairs wonderfully with dried fruits (toasted hazelnuts, pecans), salted butter caramel, or warm spices like cinnamon. For a bold touch, try it with yellow fruits like apricot or banana, which highlight its Brazilian origin.

How to successfully temper this 53% chocolate? Although it is very rich in cocoa, it tempers like a technical milk chocolate. Follow the temperature curve recommended by Valrhona (Melting: 45/48°C, Crystallization: 27/28°C, Working: 29/30°C). Its richness in cocoa butter (45g/100g) guarantees excellent fluidity for coating.
