PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Valrhona - Jivara Milk Chocolate 40% - 6.6 lb is an iconic milk chocolate couverture known for its pronounced cocoa character and creamy, balanced flavor. With 40% cocoa, Jivara offers a rich chocolate presence complemented by mellow malt and delicate vanilla notes. Its rounded sweetness and smooth mouthfeel create a harmonious profile that brings depth to pastry creations without overwhelming other ingredients. Jivara was developed by blending cocoa aromatic profiles from Ecuador and Ghana to create its distinctive and consistent flavor.

Jivara is especially well suited to crémeux and ganaches, where its creamy texture and cocoa-forward flavor can really shine. It also performs beautifully in mousses, molded chocolates, bars, coatings, ice creams, and sorbets. Pair it with salted butter caramel, nuts, red berries, exotic fruits, tonka bean, basil, or violet for desserts with layered and complementary flavors. The 6.6 lb format provides a generous supply for chocolatiers, pastry chefs, bakeries, and restaurants working with Jivara on a regular basis, whether creating refined plated desserts, layered pastries, chocolate confections, or frozen creations.
