What is Dark Venezuela 70% Couverture Chocolate

Carma's Dark Venezuela 70% is a premium Swiss dark chocolate couverture characterized by an intense and complex aromatic profile. Made with cocoa beans from Venezuela, this chocolate offers a deep cocoa taste enriched by elegant fruity notes, a slight acidity, and delicate roasted and mocha aromas. Its medium fluidity (3 out of 5 drops) makes it an extremely versatile ingredient for pastry professionals.

Origin and Sustainability

Manufactured entirely in Switzerland by Carma, a historic brand renowned since 1932 for the excellence of its chocolate. The cocoa used for this couverture comes from Venezuela, one of the most prestigious cocoa-growing regions in the world. Furthermore, the product supports the Cocoa Horizons Foundation, ensuring the use of sustainable and 100% traceable ingredients.

Culinary Characteristics

With a minimum cocoa content of 70% and 42.9% fat, Dark Venezuela offers a perfect balance between flavor intensity and workability. The roasted and bitter notes of the dark chocolate beautifully balance with the fruity aromas, making it ideal for creating sophisticated flavor contrasts. It is a Halal-certified product, suitable for vegetarian diets, and made using natural vanilla.

Usage in the Professional Kitchen

Thanks to its balanced fluidity (level 3), this couverture in drops format is perfect for multiple professional applications. It excels in moulding and enrobing pralines and desserts. It performs equally well in the preparation of glossy ganaches, velvety mousses, glazes, and panning. The practical drops allow for quick melting and precise dosing.

Format and Storage

The product is packaged in a convenient 1.5 kg stand-up pouch, ideal for maintaining the freshness and aroma of the chocolate even after opening. It is recommended to store the chocolate in a cool, dry place (between 12°C and 20°C), away from heat sources and direct sunlight, to preserve its organoleptic qualities unchanged for up to 24 months from production.
