Ivoire is Valrhona's benchmark white chocolate — and it sets the standard by which all others are judged. Made with premium cocoa butter and a delicate touch of vanilla, it delivers a clean, creamy sweetness of exceptional refinement: pure, elegant, and never cloying. At 35% cocoa butter — significantly higher than most white chocolates — Ivoire has a superior fluidity and a more nuanced, less sugary sweetness that makes it the professional's choice for white chocolate work of any kind.
The flavour is beautifully restrained: fresh cream, delicate vanilla, and a clean milky sweetness that acts as a perfect canvas for fruit, floral, and spice pairings without ever competing. It tempers with precision, moulds with a brilliant gloss, and melts with a smoothness that is immediately apparent. The white chocolate that serious kitchens keep in stock.
