Stories: This is the most popular chocolate we sell - but it was an accident. Valrhona pastry chef Frédéric Bau accidentally left white chocolate in a bain-marie, and when he returned he thought he had ruined the chocolate. However, he then tasted it and realised this golden hued white chocolate had taken on the exceptional flavours of toasted shortbread and caramelised milk and was in fact delicious.
This fortunate mishap led to eight years of research to produce this flavour at a commercial level - with no flavourings added, just the right amount of heat to naturally caramelise - and thankfully we now have Dulcey—a unique chocolate that revolutionised chocolate eating with its distinct flavour and colour.
