VALRHONA Opalys 33% – White Chocolate Couverture - 3kg
VALRHONA Opalys 33% – White Chocolate Couverture - 3kg
Opalys is a creamy chocolate that's light and pure in colour with very low sweetness. It opens with balanced flavours of fresh milk and natural vanilla.
Valrhona devised Opalys to meet the needs of a customer who wanted a chocolate with an immaculate colour. Developing such a bright white product was technically highly demanding and required Valrhona to modify its facilities. This led to the creation of Opalys, a creamy, pure white chocolate, with only the slightest hint of sweetness. Prized by perfectionists, it became a phenomenal success. The name Opalys refers to its opalescent white colour.
What makes Opalys so special is its perfect balance of cocoa butter, sugar and milk. Obtaining this white colour and this level of finesse at the same time is extremely difficult.
Opalys is a white chocolate with the merest hint of sweetness whose delicate milky, vanilla flavour conjures up all the purity of a shimmering mountaintop snow shower in spring.

At above 26°C, cocoa butter in chocolate products may start melting, and recrystallize as white streaks or marks on the chocolate's surface. This phenomenon is called 'fat bloom'. While it may not have the perfect appearance, bloomed chocolates are safe to eat and use in recipes.
