Itakuja is one of Valrhona's most captivating creations — a single-origin Brazilian dark couverture crafted using a pioneering double fermentation process with passionfruit. This extraordinary technique, developed in partnership with Brazilian cacao farmers, infuses the cocoa beans with vibrant tropical character at the source, producing a flavour profile that no extract or flavouring could ever replicate.
At 55% cocoa, Itakuja strikes a remarkable balance: the depth and structure of a serious dark chocolate, lifted by a vivid, natural passionfruit brightness that lingers long on the finish. Bold, complex, and utterly distinctive.
