Caramelia is one of Valrhona's most original and beloved couvertures — a milk chocolate with caramel baked directly into the chocolate itself, not added as a flavouring or filling, but integrated at the source to create something genuinely unique. The result is a couverture that tastes like the very best caramel and milk chocolate have merged into a single, seamless experience.
At 36% cocoa, Caramelia delivers a flavour of soft toffee, warm caramel, and creamy milk chocolate in perfect harmony — a complex, deeply satisfying sweetness that is immediately irresistible and endlessly versatile. It handles exactly like a standard milk couverture, with excellent fluidity and reliable tempering behaviour, but brings a warmth and character that transforms every creation it touches. A truly original chocolate that earns its place in any serious kitchen.
