Valrhona Inspiration Couvertures
Made by combining processed fresh fruit of the finest quality with cocoa butter and sugar, these exceptional fruit couvertures allow chocolatiers, chefs and bakers to create exquisite desserts and sweet treats with ease. Offering the same workability as a chocolate couverture, Valrhona’s Inspiration range not only packs a punch with its vibrant and zesty fruit flavours, but it also boasts the bright, natural colours of each fruit, so your ganache, mousse or sorbet will stand out from the crowd for both its taste and appearance.
Developed by Valrhona’s in house R&D team, these revolutionary fruit couvertures are a pastry chef’s dream, and best of all, they’re naturally vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free!

Spotlight on Raspberry Inspiration
With its eye-catching deep pink hue and the flavour of childhood memories, Raspberry Inspiration is a perfect addition to any chocolatier’s range of couvertures. Allowing you to craft romantic Valentine’s bars and bonbons, or experiment with summery raspberry mousse desserts, these bold pink fèves make creating showstopping chocolates and puddings a breeze.
Their silky-smooth texture and fresh taste pair perfectly with a variety of other flavours, from fruits like lemon and lychee, to nuts like almond and pistachio. Whether you wrap a raspberry ganache in a white chocolate shell with a biscuit base, or ripple almond paste through raspberry ice cream for a sumptuous treat, your customers will be transported to the long, summer days of their youth.
These fruit couvertures are jam-packed with fruity flavours, so a little goes a long way! Brighten up your bonbon range for spring with naturally colourful shells and tangy sweet fillings, or whip up a batch of raspberry sorbet for the authentic taste of British summer.
