Deep rich notes of buttered caramel are apparent from the very first bite of this luxurious milk chocolate. The perfect addition to all manner of recipes, flavor your buttercreams, cakes, mousses, custards, and more with the uniquely delicious taste of Valrhona's Caramelia milk chocolate. Unlike most caramel-flavored chocolate, Valrhona uses genuine dairy-based caramel made from skim milk and butter to achieve its flavor. While other chocolates use caramelized sugar, Valrhona slowly caramelizes milk and butter, which renders a superior flavor and a full-bodied mouthfeel. A particularly silky smooth combination, Caramelia manages to maintain clear notes of cocoa while still offering vibrant layers of caramel. Melting is easy with pistoles thanks to their small bean-shaped size. Perfect for melting, measuring, and weighing; throw them into batters, doughs, and more for a punctuation of delicious caramel flavor. Providing a sophisticated taste and a professional finish, you'll love working with Valrhona's premium chocolates. A favorite of all who try them chefs, bakers, chocolatiers, and even home chefs unanimously choose Valrhona to fill all their culinary needs!
