PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Valrhona - Caramelia Milk Chocolate 36% - 250 g / 8.8 oz brings together smooth milk chocolate and the indulgent flavor of authentic caramel for a couverture that is rich, creamy, and wonderfully rounded. Made with caramel crafted from milk and butter, Caramélia has a luscious texture and a distinctive salted butter caramel character that sets it apart from traditional milk chocolate. Its gentle sweetness and creamy mouthfeel make it an especially inviting choice when you want caramel flavor to be a central part of the finished dessert.

Use Caramélia to create silky ganaches, airy mousses, smooth crémeux, and luxurious ice creams and sorbets, or showcase its soft texture and rich flavor in molded chocolates and bars. Its caramelized profile pairs beautifully with citrus and exotic fruits as well as hazelnut, peanut, coffee, sesame, ginger, nutmeg, biscuit, and shortbread. The 250 g format is convenient for specialty desserts, smaller production runs, recipe testing, or pastry kitchens that want the flexibility of working with a premium couverture without committing to a larger professional bag.
