PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Valrhona - Azelia Milk Chocolate 35% is an indulgent milk chocolate couverture that beautifully combines smooth, creamy chocolate with the warm flavor of roasted hazelnuts. With 35% cocoa and 13.6% hazelnuts, Azélia offers a rich, inviting profile where sweet milk and cocoa meet a distinct toasted hazelnut character. Its beautiful warm brown hue and smooth texture make it an especially appealing choice when you want chocolate to bring both richness and a memorable nutty finish to a dessert.

Its flavor profile pairs naturally with exotic fruits, coffee, biscuit, caramel, and puffed cereal, giving pastry chefs plenty of room to build complementary flavors and textures.
