PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Cacao Barry Alunga 41% Milk Chocolate Couverture is a premium dark milk chocolate designed for pastry chefs and chocolatiers who want the richness and creaminess of milk chocolate with a deeper, more intense cocoa flavor. With 41% cocoa, Alunga delivers a rich chocolate profile with dominant notes of cocoa and milk and only slight sweetness, making it an excellent choice for professional pastry applications.

Alunga is part of Cacao Barry's new generation of chocolates, made with cocoa processed through an innovative Q-fermentation method designed to enhance the pure, intense character of the cocoa. Its balanced flavor and three-drop fluidity make this versatile milk chocolate couverture ideal for a wide range of pastry and chocolate applications, including ganache, mousse, crémeux, fillings, sauces, molded chocolates, and desserts.

Unlike many sweeter milk chocolates, Cacao Barry Alunga 41% offers the depth of a dark chocolate with the smooth, creamy character of milk chocolate. Its rich cocoa flavor pairs beautifully with caramel, hazelnuts, espresso, honey, whisky, fleur de sel, mango, passion fruit, and raspberry, making it a versatile couverture for both classic and contemporary pastry creations.
