Baking Chocolate Blonde Dulcey 35% -  35.27oz / 1kg

In 2012, Valrhona innovated and invented Dulcey chocolate. This chocolate is made from caramelized white chocolate. With its blonde color, Dulcey 35% chocolate reveals a smooth and enveloping texture. Its sweetness and its biscuity and slightly sweet taste give way to generous notes of shortbread with a hint of salt. Its light taste of caramelized milk takes you on a journey through time for a totally regressive and addictive result!

An innovation born from an oversight, but the fruit of Valrhona expertise

Like other mistakes or omissions in the field of pastry (the Cambrai misdeeds or the Tatin tart), Dulcey chocolate was born from inattention. Indeed, it was during a cooking demonstration in Japan that Fréderic Bau, busy with other work, forgot his white chocolate that he had put in a bain-marie for more than 15 hours. When he noticed this omission, the chocolate had changed to a delicate blonde color with an odor of toasted shortbread and caramelized milk. It still took Valrhona eight years of research and development to obtain the final version of this Dulcey chocolate.

A gourmet chocolate with multiple uses.

Perfect for making creamy and ganaches, it can also be used for coating, molding, bars, mousse or sorbets. Its creamy flavor goes perfectly with fruits such as apricot, banana, mango or hazelnut. With its iconic feve shape, this baking chocolate ensures rapid melting and easy dosing, ideal for making gourmet desserts and snacks. Dulcey chocolate is made up of 35% cocoa butter, which gives it a smoothness, shine and unique aromas. This blonde-colored chocolate goes very well with fruity notes: it will reveal its full potential in a dessert made with mango, apricot or banana. Finally, for the more daring, looking for innovative flavors, you can combine this chocolate with savory. A piece of cheese and a little Dulcey chocolate will tickle your taste buds for a surprising and delicious result.

Sebastian V. ★★★★★

The caramelized flavor is unreal, like toasted sugar with a hint of salt. I've been chopping it into cookies and the 1kg block will last me months.

James ★★★★★

I melted a few squares into a blondie batter and the caramel note came through way stronger than regular white chocolate ever does. It sets up firm once chilled, so my bars sliced clean instead of smearing. The 1kg block is a lot to get through, but I've been shaving it into cookies too.

Violet Z. ★★★★★

I was nervous about melting a whole kilo of white chocolate, but this one tempers beautifully for ganache and leaves a nutty, toffee-like depth that plain white just doesn't have. The caramelized blonde tone in the finished brownies gave them a bakery-level complexity that made my weekend project wo
