Notes of roasted hazelnuts expertly blended with delicately smooth and perfectly sweet milk chocolate give way to extreme indulgence, the ideal canvas for creative possibilities.

When Valrhona decided to tackle one of the dessert world’s most beloved classics to make a new chocolate, the results were none other than Azélia 35%. This new Grand Cru strikes the perfect balance of chocolate, milk and hazelnuts. It reawakens delectable childhood memories and thrills even the most sophisticated adult taste buds. Valrhona designed Azélia using cocoa and nuts selected and processed for their flavor and quality. Its warm brown color reignites some of our greatest childhood passions whether it is used in bonbons, chocolate bars, ganaches, desserts, ice creams or sorbets.

So that taste is always a source of inspiration, we have used a research-based co-creation approach to give each couverture a specific ambiance which will appeal to both your senses and your emotions.

Azélia’s indulgent notes of roasted hazelnut feel every bit as velvety as a warm down blanket on winter’s first icy days.

Summer Shipping: 

At above 26°C, cocoa butter in chocolate products may start melting, and recrystallize as white streaks or marks on the chocolate's surface.  This phenomenon is called 'fat bloom'.  While it may not have the perfect appearance, bloomed chocolates are safe to eat and use in recipes.

During summer months when the temperature is relatively warm, we advise adding cold packaging to your shipment in order to minimize the risk of melting.  While we are careful and diligent in maintaining the temperature of your package, we unfortunately cannot guarantee the products in the cold packaging will not be affected by unusually warm weather and irregular transit time.
