Product Information
When Indulgence becomes plant-based!
Valrhona’s curiosity and passion is what guides us on our never-ending journey to explore the infinite possibilities of pleasure that chocolate has to offer. And with the birth of Amatika 46%, we have marked a milestone in the history of decadence by creating the first Vegan Grand cru, with single Madagascar origin.
The result of passionate teamwork between sourcing teams, cacao producers, innovation and sensory experts and L’École Valrhona’s pastry chefs, Amatika 46% represents the premium chocolate that contemporary vegan pastry-making has been longing for. A true showcase of chocolatier expertise.

A milk chocolate couverture à la vegan
Powerful yet melt-in-the-mouth... Amatika 46% combines the sweetness and creaminess of almond with the aromatic potency of pure Madagascan cacao. Unparalleled taste and texture to meet the needs and creativity of pastry chefs and artisans the world over.
Amatika 46% marries all the sweetness, delicacy, creaminess and warm colors of a milk chocolate... with none of the milk.
