Quantity
Valrhona Alpaco Les Feves 66% Single Origin Dark Chocolate Discs showcase the elegance of Ecuadorian cocoa, revealing delicate floral notes of jasmine and orange blossoms, culminating in a long finish of refined bitterness and woody undertones. Alpaco pays homage to Ecuador's unique terroir, a tribute captured in its Quechua-derived name "Alpa," meaning "plain." Valrhona's selection of the iconic Arriba cocoa variety ensures a distinct flavor profile nurtured by Ecuador's favorable climate and rich soil, while a meticulous processing technique preserves the aromatic qualities of Arriba. Ideal for coating, molding, bars, mousse, cream mix, ganache, ice creams, and sorbets, Alpaco finds perfect pairings with grapefruit, hazelnut, lime, lychee, cinnamon, coffee, gingerbread, vanilla, caramel, and licorice.
