PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Valrhona - Tanariva Milk Chocolate 33% - 6.6 lb is a single-origin milk chocolate couverture made with cocoa beans from Madagascar's Ambanja District. Its creamy, gently sweet character is complemented by indulgent caramel notes and a subtle acidity that brings brightness and balance to the chocolate. The combination creates a milk chocolate that feels both familiar and distinctive, with enough cocoa character and aromatic complexity to stand beautifully on its own while still complementing other ingredients. Its Madagascar origin gives Tanariva a naturally expressive character that makes it especially appealing for desserts where nuanced flavor is part of the experience.

Tanariva is particularly well suited to coating and enrobing, where its creamy texture and balanced flavor create an elegant chocolate finish. It also works beautifully in molded chocolates and bars, mousses, crémeux, ganaches, ice creams, and sorbets. Pair it with grapefruit, mandarin, orange, raspberry, coffee, star anise, vanilla, or salted butter caramel to create desserts with contrasting layers of flavor. The 6.6 lb format provides a generous supply for professional chocolatiers, pastry chefs, bakeries, restaurants, and dessert kitchens working with milk chocolate on a regular basis.
