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.

Like the crackling sound of a fire, Oqo’s whole bean pieces take you back to cocoa’s earliest origins. It has a raw, almost mineral texture, crunchy pieces of whole beans which erupt like a shower of glittering sparks, and powerful tangy and fruity notes that give way to warm undertones of roasted beans.
