Valrhona’s Amatika range was made with plant-based recipes in mind, with both chocolates being dairy free and Vegan certified! Both are made using almond flour, but even with this addition, they offer a smooth mouthfeel and the incredible workability you’ve come to expect from Valrhona’s couverture.

The subtle almond taste only complements the natural cocoa flavour of the 46% Amatika chocolate and adds nutty undertones to the Amatika Blanche 35%, and in application is easily masked by other, stronger flavours.

While the Amatikas were created for plant-based recipes, this isn’t to say that you can’t utilise the range in your standard chocolate to give undertones of almond in a ganache, whilst still offering a creamy finished chocolate that even non-vegans will love.

Valrhona is a proud B Corp, a label that recognises the most ethically committed companies, meeting the highest standards in their social and environmental impact, and every one of their couvertures is made from responsible cocoa. Not only do Valrhona’s range of chocolate couvertures all boast a unique flavour profile, they’re made from the finest quality, sustainable beans and are helping to make a real difference in the chocolate industry.
