Cacao Barry Lactée Supérieure Milk Chocolate Couverture 38%

When only the finest milk chocolate will do, professional pastry chefs reach for Lactée Supérieure. Cacao Barry's premium milk couverture at 38% cocoa delivers a richer, more complex milk chocolate experience than standard milk couvertures — deeper in flavour, more refined in character, and supremely versatile across the full range of professional applications.

The name says it all: Supérieure. Superior milk chocolate for those who refuse to compromise. Available at Nut House, delivered across the UK.

Why Professionals Choose Lactée Supérieure 38%

• Higher cocoa content than standard milk chocolate: At 38%, it delivers genuine chocolate depth alongside creamy sweetness — a step above conventional milk couvertures
• Rich, complex flavour: More character and nuance than lighter milk chocolates, without losing the approachable creaminess that makes milk chocolate universally loved
• Exceptional fluidity: High cocoa butter content for smooth, consistent tempering, enrobing, and ganache work
• Professional-grade reliability: Crafted to Cacao Barry's exacting standards for consistent results in demanding kitchen environments

Tasting Notes

Rich and creamy with a pronounced caramel depth, warm vanilla undertones, and a satisfying cocoa finish. Fuller-bodied than lighter milk chocolates, with a long, smooth aftertaste. Pairs beautifully with hazelnut, coffee, salted caramel, orange, and dark berries.

How to Use

• Tempering: Melt to 45–50°C, cool to 26–27°C, reheat to 29–30°C — see our full tempering guide for tabling and seeding methods
• Ganaches: Use a 2:1 chocolate to cream ratio for firm milk chocolate truffles, or 1:1 for a silky tart filling or glaze
• Enrobing & moulding: Excellent fluidity for coating truffles and filling praline moulds with a beautiful glossy finish
• Mousses & creams: Melts smoothly into whipped cream or custard bases for rich, indulgent milk chocolate desserts
• Baking: Use drops in cookies, blondies, and cakes for a deeper, more complex milk chocolate flavour
• Pairings: Outstanding with hazelnuts, vanilla, coffee, salted caramel, and orange zest
