Valrhona Oabika Concentrate (Gold of the Pod) – 5kg

Description

Oabika is a cocoa fruit juice concentrate 72° Brix, made from the still-undervalued white pulp that protects beans in the cocoa pod, also known as mucilage. Its nuanced aromatic profile, oscillating between fruity and tangy notes, instantly takes us to the heart of the plantations to discover the rare and exceptional taste of the fruit of the cocoa tree. When you taste Oabika, you will experience the extraordinary flavour of cocoa fruit, with powerful acidity and surprising aromas. It has a very nuanced profile, oscillating between subtle fermented notes, fruity notes of small, tangy berries such as redcurrant and more gourmet notes of candied fruit. Its syrupy texture and amber colour make it an exceptional ingredient, the new key ingredient for chefs and artisans around the world.

Oabika is an all-new material to work with and an inexhaustible source of creativity for chefs and artisans, whose imagination is fed by new sensations. Oabika is an ingredient that will satisfy the needs of all gastronomy professionals—pastry chefs, chocolatiers, ice cream makers, restaurateurs, caterers and mixologists. It can be used pure or diluted to make toppings, sauces, glazes, ganaches, jellies, mousses, creams, ice creams, sorbets, drinks and much more.
