Gone are the days when chocolate was just dark, milk, and white. Today, with Valrhona Chocolat’s new creation, we can have a taste of the world’s first blond chocolate.
Perfect for October’s Chocolate Week, the blond chocolate named “Dulcey” will be offered to pastry chefs and chocolate lovers.
This new product is said to be perfect with ingredients with gourmet notes such as coffee, hazelnut, and caramel.
It also works well with acidic fruits like bananas, mangoes, and apricots.
The makers are confident that “Dulcey” will easily become one of the favorites of chocolatiers and pastry chefs.
Unlike regular chocolates, it has a blond color and smooth, enveloping texture.
It’s not too sweet and it offers a biscuit flavor. The makers claim it took eight years to develop this one-of-a-kind treat.
It is understood that “Dulcey” will be available to the public from retail venues such as Harvey Nichols, Selfridges, Fortnum and Mason, and Chocolate Trading.
