Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
Which size should I choose: 250 g, 1 kg, or 3 kg?
250 g to try it or make an occasional dessert. 1 kg for a regular home baker (5-15 desserts). 3 kg or more for workshops and professional use: the price per kg is significantly better in larger formats.
What is couverture chocolate?
Couverture chocolate has a high cocoa butter content (generally over 31%) and is intended for professionals. Its fluidity makes it suitable for enrobing, molding, and all fine chocolate-making techniques.
Is tempering required?
For uses where the chocolate remains visible and solid (molding, enrobing, decoration): yes, tempering is essential for shine, snap, and shelf life. For uses where it's mixed in (mousses, ganaches, cookies): not required; simply melting it is enough.
How many feves are in 100 g?
About 35 to 40 Valrhona feves per 100 g. A practical format for precise gram-by-gram measuring without weighing once you're used to it.
How should Valrhona chocolate be stored?
Ideally stored at 16-18 °C, in a dry place away from light and odors. Avoid the refrigerator (condensation causes whitening). Once the bag is resealed, keeps for 18 months.
