Product Information

Almond Inspiration is the first product jointly developed by Valrhona. It was designed collaboratively with Valrhona customers and an almond pressing specialist. Almond Inspiration embodies all the benefits of a joint-development approach, with each partner learning from the others. The Almond Inspiration project was almost abandoned more than once but it ultimately succeeded thanks to its participants’ belief in it. Other encouragements included the creation of Valrhona’s Strawberry and Passionfruit Inspiration products. On its launch, Inspiration won the Grand Prize at the Sirha Innovation Awards 2017.

Inspiration is made from processed fresh fruit of the very finest quality, whose intense color and flavor combine wonderfully
with the unique texture of cocoa butter. Despite its very simple composition, Inspiration is a revolutionary product whose design required highly complex technical solutions. Inspiration contains no artificial color or flavor.

It is thanks to teamwork that we were able to create this innovative range of fruit couvertures. Despite all the product development we’ve already done, Inspiration was a genuinely ground-breaking project with new challenges that have given us a chance to grow with Valrhona!
