Valrhona Illanka 63%: What It Is and Who It Is For
Valrhona Illanka 63% is a single-origin dark couverture chocolate from Peru, sold as fèves in a 3 kg bag or a 3 x 3 kg case. It is made for chocolatiers, pastry chefs, bakeries and restaurant dessert programs that want a fruit-forward Grands Crus chocolate with enough fluidity for molding and enrobing as well as ganache.
How Pastry Kitchens Use It
Temper it for molded bonbons and enrobed centers, build ganache and mousse where the fruity acidity should lead, or use it for bars and plated desserts that showcase a single origin. The fève shape melts evenly without chopping, which speeds up tempering and portioning. Store sealed at 60 to 65 F away from strong odors.

Compare it with two other Valrhona Grands Crus fèves we stock: Valrhona Guanaja 70% for a more bitter, intense profile and Valrhona Manjari 64% for a brighter Madagascar fruit note. Browse the full Valrhona collection, our single-origin products and the complete professional chocolate collection.
