Valrhona 48% Dark Chocolate Batons are ready-to-use baking sticks developed for croissants, pain au chocolat and other viennoiserie. Made with pure cocoa butter, they deliver a balanced dark chocolate flavour with pronounced cocoa notes and a touch of natural vanilla.
Designed for excellent stability during baking, the batons soften into a smooth chocolate centre while maintaining a neat, defined shape inside the pastry. Their uniform 5.3g format makes portioning faster and more consistent, whether used in a professional pastry kitchen or for small-batch baking at home.
Each baton has a rounded, extruded shape designed to sit neatly inside laminated dough without cutting through the delicate layers. Simply place one or two batons into the dough before shaping for clean production and consistent chocolate distribution from pastry to pastry.
Best for:
Pain au chocolat, chocolate croissants, danishes, pain suisse, brioche rolls, laminated pastry twists, puff pastry and other baked goods that benefit from a neat, bake-stable chocolate centre.
