New White Chocolate

[Jim D.]

Some time ago, in a thread on fillings for chocolates, DianaM recommended Valrhona's new white chocolate, named Opalys, to me. It is supposed to be better for "fading into the background" in fillings where one wants other flavors to predominate and also better for enrobing. I tried to find it in the U.S. but had no luck.

I thought that I would report that it is now available (I found it on Chocosphere, which also has the fairly new Dulcey, which I believe Chocolot from this forum has used and which sounds interesting). I have not tried either of these yet. The price of Opalys is above that of Ivoire, but not by a lot.

APriori in Salt Lake City also carries both as well as a lot of other chocolates.

Looks great, but apparently they don't sell directly to the public/individuals.

Sure they do. Just give them a call. They are a branch of Caputo's deli. Between the two business, you can get just about anything chocolate you need. (It isn't too hard to come up with the business name:)
