MILK COUVERTURE JIVARA 40%
Valrhona – Jivara 40% Milk Couverture
Jivara 40% is one of Valrhona’s most distinguished creations and a milestone in the world of milk chocolate.
Introduced in 1995 after extensive development, it was the first milk chocolate to deliver such an intense, full-bodied flavour with a true cocoa character—a significant breakthrough in a category traditionally defined by sweetness.
A Masterful Cocoa Blend
Jivara is crafted from a complex assemblage of cacao aromatic profiles typical of Ecuador and Ghana.
These profiles are meticulously balanced until they achieve the signature taste that has defined Jivara for decades:
-
creamy and round,
-
pronounced cocoa depth,
-
malty undertones,
-
enhanced by a delicate touch of vanilla.
This precise blend represents a technical and sensory achievement and remains one of Valrhona’s most beloved flavour compositions.
