Hint of Cocoa
Launched in 1987, Guanaja Lactée 41% is a historic Valrhona couverture chocolate. Like its dark version, it has won over professionals by opening up new creative possibilities for milk chocolate. Ever since it was launched, Guanaja Lactée has been known for being easy to work with, fluid and versatile, and it has paved the way for desserts made solely from milk chocolate thanks to its low sugar content and distinctive flavors. Its name, Guanaja, is a nod to the first cocoa beans given to Christopher Columbus when he washed up on the Caribbean island of Guanaja on July 30, 1502.
So that taste is always a source of inspiration, we have used a research-based co-creation approach to give each couverture a specific ambiance which will appeal to both your senses and your emotions.
Guanaja Lactée has most definitely been created for people who are more interested in milk chocolate’s dairy content than its sugar.
