About This Chocolate
Amatika Blanche 35%, the first plant-based white couverture that’s as easy to work with as any other chocolate. The sweetness of the almonds and Amatika Blanche’s nutty notes conjure up images of a calm summer river catching the light as it ripples.
Amatika Blanche is the latest addition to Valrhona’s plant-based range, which is the result of extensive research and meticulous work to offer professionals an exceptional plant-based and lactose-free alternative.
"Amatika Blanche’s sweet almond notes and light colour are the key to beautiful classic pastry creations, both plant-based and lactose-free. Amatika Blanche is also ideal for adding flavour to many basic recipes."
- Rémi Poisson, Pastry Chef Instructor at l'École Valrhona

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.
