Azélia is the couverture that answers a simple question: what happens when you combine the finest milk chocolate with perfectly roasted hazelnuts, and nothing else? The answer is something truly special. No praline paste, no added flavouring — just Valrhona milk chocolate and whole roasted hazelnuts, crafted together into a couverture of remarkable warmth and depth.
At 35% cocoa, Azélia is rich and indulgent, with a flavour profile that feels both familiar and elevated. Toasted hazelnut leads the way, followed by notes of caramel and creamy milk chocolate, with a smooth, lingering finish that makes it almost impossible to stop at one taste. For any creation where hazelnut and chocolate belong together, Azélia is the definitive ingredient.
