PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Valrhona - Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Gianduja 34% - 6.6 lb combines the rich character of dark chocolate with the unmistakable flavor of freshly roasted hazelnuts. Made with 34% hazelnuts and cocoa beans, this classic gianduja-style preparation delivers an intensely nutty, chocolate-forward profile with a smooth, indulgent finish. The carefully roasted hazelnut character gives it depth and warmth, while the cocoa brings a darker chocolate presence that makes it especially appealing in sophisticated pastry and confectionery applications.

Its semi-solid texture makes this gianduja easy to cut, melt, incorporate, and work into a variety of recipes. Use it as a flavorful component in ganaches, creams, fillings, and chocolate confections, or melt it into other mixtures when you want to build pronounced roasted hazelnut and chocolate character into a dessert. It can also be used in enrobed confections, layered pastries, molded creations, and frozen desserts. The 6.6 lb professional format provides a generous supply for pastry kitchens and chocolatiers working with hazelnut-forward recipes on a regular basis.
