Valrhona 35% dulcey - Crunchy Blond Chocolate Pearls, 3KG/6.6LBS – Toasty, Caramelized Crunch
Add a gourmet flourish to your creations with Valrhona 35% dulcey - Crunchy Blond Chocolate Pearls, 3KG/6.6LBS. These pearls combine Valrhona’s iconic Dulcey Blond chocolate, invented in 2012 by Frédéric Bau, with crisp puffed cereal, delivering a biscuity, caramelized flavor with a hint of salt and a warm golden hue. Born from an accidental overcooking of white chocolate, Dulcey introduced the world’s first blond chocolate. Perfect for professional pastry chefs or home bakers, these pearls are ideal for chocolate dessert topping recipes or as textural inclusions in mousses and ice creams.

Effortless Gourmet Creations
Sprinkle Valrhona Dulcey 35% Crunchy Pearls over chocolate-dipped pastries or mix into ice cream for a crunchy, caramelized contrast. Customers rave about their rich flavor and textural pop, though some find them overly sweet for standalone snacking. Pair with pistachios, freeze-dried berries, or Valrhona’s Azelia for vibrant desserts like chocolate tart toppings or fridge cakes. Their freeze-stable nature suits frozen treats. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 12 months to maintain quality.
