Itakuja 55% Dark Chocolate Double Fermentation with Passion Fruit - 8.8oz

After over 10 years of working closely with partner producers, Valrhona has revolutionized cocoa processing in its plantations. Once the traditional fermentation process is complete, we add another ingredient – fruit naturally rich in sugar – which triggers a second phase of fermentation, infusing the chocolates with the flavor of the fruit for a new range of aromatic possibilities.

Itakuja was created in Brazil due to a friendship between Valrhona sourcer Benjamin Figarède and M. Libânio, the director of the plantations. Together, they devised an innovative way of employing the fine cocoa produced in these plantations in chocolate with aromatic notes of passionfruit.

ITAKUJA excels from the very first bite: A bouquet of fruit aromas explodes, then slowly gives way to Brazilian cocoa's rounded flavors.

Once the traditional cocoa fermentation process is complete, a second fermentation is triggered by adding a locally harvested fresh fruit purée. For Itakuja, passionfruit is used. This procedure demands meticulous skill to precisely balance the flavors already present in the cocoa after the first fermentation and those provided by the fresh fruit.
