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 fruit's 100% natural taste 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: while melting, maintain continuous stirring because Inspiration couvertures have a thicker texture than traditional chocolate.
How long can I store my Inspiration creations?
Because Inspiration recipes are made with natural fruit (without colorants or preservatives), they are more delicate. Store creations in the back room at a maximum of 18 °C, away from light. Sell within 4 weeks at most. Opaque packaging significantly extends shelf life.
Can you make whipped ganache with Inspiration?
Yes, absolutely. Inspiration couvertures are ideal for making whipped ganache thanks to their composition (cocoa butter + sugar + fruit). Follow a white chocolate whipped ganache recipe, simply replacing Ivoire with your Inspiration product. 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. This is why you need to stir continuously while melting and slightly adjust your recipes (for example, add a little more cream to ganaches).
