Come along as each month we explore the different chocolate couvertures Keylink stock from Valrhona, taking a closer look at their flavour profiles, best uses, and more. Our past Valrhona ventures can be found on the blog.
This month, we’re taking a look at the smooth Blond chocolate, Dulcey 35%. Now available in 1kg packs!
Dulcey 35% was very much a happy accident, when Frédéric Bau once left his white chocolate in the bain-marie during one of his cookery demonstrations! The resulting product had a toasted shortbread aroma with hints of caramelised milk. After eight years of further research and development up to 2012, Dulcey 35% was born!
It’s a surefire crowd pleaser, with its rich moreish profile and refined sweet flavour, so you can be assured any Dulcey 35% recipes will fly off your shelves!

Earlier this year, the Barry Callebaut factory in Belgium closed for several months following a salmonella-positive chocolate production lot. While the factory has re-opened and our Callebaut stocks are improving again, the closure had a significant ripple effect on the chocolate industry and our other brands continue to be in high demand.
