Valrhona Matcha Inspiration Couverture

Matcha Inspiration is one of the most exciting and unexpected couvertures Valrhona has ever created. Part of the groundbreaking Inspiration range, it is made with real matcha and an almond base — no cocoa butter, no dairy, no artificial flavourings — producing a smooth, meltable couverture with an intense, authentic matcha flavour and a stunning natural green colour that needs no enhancement.

It handles exactly like a chocolate couverture — tempering, moulding, and enrobing with the same fluidity and gloss — but opens up an entirely new world of flavour and colour for chocolatiers and pastry chefs. The flavour is unmistakably matcha: vegetal, slightly bitter, deeply aromatic, with the characteristic umami depth that makes Japanese matcha so compelling. A couverture that genuinely surprises.
