Cercle V Calendar x Carmen Capote

Portrait Carmen Capote

This month, Valrhona is proud to spotlight Carmen Capote, Pastry Chef at 24onzas in Spain. Renowned for her creative approach and love for innovation, Carmen presents to us 'Scarlet,' a creation that skillfully combines art and pastry.

'Scarlet' is a celebration of natural flavors, a tribute to beetroot and raspberry, chosen for their vibrant color and distinctive taste. She elevates Oqo 73% by creating a perfect balance between the acidity of raspberry jelly and the earthy notes of beetroot. 'Scarlet' is not just a dessert; it's a sensory experience.

Oqo 73%

Like the crackling sound of a fire, Oqo’s whole cocoa bean pieces take you back to cocoa’s earliest origins. It has a raw, almost mineral texture, with crunchy pieces of cocoa bean which erupt like a shower of glittering sparks, and powerful acidic and fruity notes that give way to warm undertones of roasted cocoa. The *cocoa beans are from the Ambanja District (Madagascar).
