chocoMe ENTRÉE – Valrhona 32% blond chocolate with salt, black sesame and almond 110g

After the well known dark, milk and white chocolates, the French Valrhona chocolate maker created a fourth one, and they call it blonde. With it's wheat-like hue it falls between the milk and white chocolates in colour, in taste it is closer to the later with a high note of elementary caramel. The relative obscurity of the blonde chocolate is mostly due to the difficulty of the production process: it takes a lot of skill and knowledge to caramelize the sugar involved without burning the added milk powder.
