Sioka is one of Valrhona's most compelling milk chocolates — a single-origin couverture from Madagascar, crafted from fine Trinitario cocoa beans grown in the island's celebrated cacao-growing regions. Madagascar is renowned for producing some of the world's most characterful cacao, and Sioka captures that spirit in a milk chocolate of genuine complexity.
At 56% cocoa, Sioka occupies a fascinating middle ground: it has the depth and structure of a dark chocolate, yet the warmth and roundness of milk. Notes of caramel and red fruits weave through a creamy, smooth base, with a hint of vanilla on the finish. It is a milk chocolate for those who want more than sweetness — a couverture that surprises and rewards.
