Valrhona Chocolate Tasting Bars

Dulcey 35% Blond Chocolate Tasting Bar

Creamy & Toasty

Dulcey® 35% is a smooth, creamy chocolate with a velvety and enveloping texture and a warm, golden color. The first notes are buttery, toasty and not too sweet, gradually giving way to the flavors of freshly-baked shortbread with a pinch of salt.

With Dulcey, Valrhona invented chocolate’s fourth color: Blond. Leaving white chocolate in a bain-marie for too long, Valrhona Chef Frédéric Bau discovered a surprising result: the chocolate became blond and gave off a sweet smell. Dulcey is an ode to creativity and daring that revolutionized the world of pastry to offer new emotions thanks to its color, taste, and texture.
