Jivara 40% Milk Chocolate Fèves from Valrhona

The choice for many professional bakers and pastry chefs, Valrhona fèves offer ease and convenience as well as superior flavor. Fèves, flat couverture chocolate discs similar to baking wafers or drops, are exclusive to Valrhona. Their tapered, oval shape and high cocoa butter content means easy and even tempering and melting. Already in individual pieces, fèves don’t need to be chopped like you would a larger baking bar. 

Chocolate fans will appreciate Jivara’s creamy, cocoa-rich flavor. While we find some milk chocolates to be waxy, Jivara is nuanced with malty and vanilla-like undertones, making it our first choice for baking with milk chocolate. 

How to use

Designed for melting, tempering and molding, these milk chocolate fèves are ideal for patisserie-style ganaches, truffles, bonbons and chocolate-dipped citrus peels. Make cake glazes that shine, silky-smooth pot de crème or homemade ice cream. Don’t be afraid to swap in fèves for chocolate chips in your favorite classic cookie recipe. Since they’re designed to melt, the fèves will create luscious pools so that each bite is as chocolatey as the last.
