Valrhona’s 48% dark chocolate baton sticks are specifically crafted for viennoiserie, delivering a rich, chocolatey flavour that pairs beautifully with laminated doughs like croissants and pain au chocolat. Designed to remain stable during baking, these batons melt just enough to create a luscious filling while maintaining structure and a clean bite.
Their slightly sweet, full-bodied profile enhances both flavour and texture, making them ideal for croissants, brioche, puff pastry, or chocolate-studded breads.
Each baton measures 8 cm in length and weighs 5.3 g, perfectly portioned for single or double-stick applications.
Ingredients: cocoa paste, cocoa butter, sugar, natural vanilla flavour, emulsifier: lecithins

Summer Shipping:
At above 34°C, cocoa butter products may start melting, and recrystallize as white streaks or marks on the surface. This phenomenon is called 'fat bloom'. While it may not have the perfect appearance, bloomed cocoa butter is 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.
