Original Beans 55% Femmes de Virunga Dark Milk Couverture Chocolate, 2kg
Original Beans 55% Femme de Virunga chocolate is creamy and complex. The dark milk chocolate has notes of coffee, caramel and roasted nuts. It’s a wonderful choice for coffee-flavoured pastries and desserts.
The beans are grown by the world’s first female cocoa cooperative in Eastern Congo. Original Beans works directly with this cooperative, paying over Fairtrade price. In addition to providing a livelihood, the project gives the women access to higher education and a professional career.
Couverture chocolate has a higher percentage of cocoa butter than baking or eating chocolate. The extra cocoa butter gives it a smoother texture and glossy appearance when tempered. Pastry chefs and chocolatiers use it for coating, dipping and decorating. It’s ideal for glazes, ganache and truffles.
Original Beans couverture bags are made from natural wood fibres. Unlike plastic, you can dispose of them in your compost bin or paper recycling box.
Original Beans Femme de Virunga chocolate is organic and gluten-free.
