Valrhona Azélia 35% is built around the warmth of roasted hazelnut. From the first taste, it blends toasted nut notes with smooth milk chocolate, creating a profile that feels velvety, rounded, and deeply comforting. It has the appeal of a refined chocolate-hazelnut spread, but with more balance and a cleaner finish.
Azélia was created when Valrhona set out to reinterpret one of the dessert world’s most loved flavour combinations. Crafted in France, it was designed to strike a precise balance between chocolate, milk, and hazelnut, using carefully selected cocoa and nuts to create a couverture that feels indulgent yet controlled. That is what gives it its particular charm: generous hazelnut character with enough lightness and structure to stay elegant.
Azélia is especially strong in moulding, where its hazelnut profile can come through with clarity, but it also performs beautifully in bars, mousse, cream mix, ganache, and frozen desserts. It pairs especially well with exotic fruits, coffee, biscuit, caramel, and puffed cereal.
