Hint of Caramelized notes
When it created Orizaba, Valrhona decided to expand its Assemblages d’Exception aromatic range, particularly in terms of milk chocolate. We made a chocolate with the same exceptional finesse and melting texture as milk from the mountains, with beautiful dairy notes. It comes from an assembly of two classic aromatic Brazilian and Madagascan cocoas. This unique blend has been a testament to our skill since 2008.
So that taste is always a source of inspiration, we have used a research-based co-creation approach to give each couverture a specific ambiance which will appeal to both your senses and your emotions.
Orizaba is a complex chocolate! We wanted to highlight the milk’s “animal” nature in a particularly melt-inthe-mouth and very fluid chocolate, the latter quality being another of its unique features.
