Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
What is a fruit couverture?
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 colorants or flavorings.
How do I temper an Inspiration couverture?
The curve is slightly lower than for classic white chocolate: melting 45-48 °C, crystallization 26-27 °C, working 28-29 °C. Important: during melting, maintain continuous stirring because Inspiration couvertures have a thicker texture than traditional chocolate.
How long can I keep my Inspiration creations?
Since the Inspiration recipes are made with natural fruit (without colorants or preservatives), they are more delicate. Store your creations in the back room at a maximum of 18 °C, away from light. Sell within 4 weeks at most. Opaque packaging significantly extends their shelf life.
Can you make whipped ganache with Inspiration?
Yes, absolutely. Inspiration couvertures are perfect for whipped ganache thanks to their composition (cocoa butter + sugar + fruit). Follow a white chocolate whipped ganache recipe, simply replacing Ivoire with your chosen Inspiration. Chill for at least 12 hours before whipping.
Why is the texture thicker than chocolate?
Fruit powder naturally contains fiber and pectin, which thicken the mixture. That’s why you need to stir continuously as it melts and adjust your recipes slightly (for example, add a little more cream to ganaches).
