White Chocolate Peach Cobbler | Bar | [94.56mg]

10 pieces per pack, 10mg per piece

Peach Cobbler: An homage to the popular southern dessert, rich white chocolate blended with all-natural peach extract, delivers notes of delectable peaches and cream, enhanced by the addition of cinnamon streusel inclusion that drives home the spiced bready component of a cobbler. The bottom of the bar is sprinkled in Caribbean sourced demerara sugar to provide the classic textural crunch of sweet, crispy, flaky crust speckled with chunky brown sugar of a homemade cobbler. The choice to use demerara sugar specifically, rather than regular brown sugar or turbinado sugar, was to achieve a focused authenticity for a true southern peach cobbler.

Demerara sugar is a type of sugar that was popularly produced in the former Dutch/British colony of Demerara, or modern-day Guyana. Demerara sugar is visually similar to turbinado sugar, but is sticky in texture, has a uniform crystal size, and has a darker, more molasses-forward flavor profile than turbinado. Although demerara sugar is certainly more popular in Europe than the U.S, some heritage recipes from the American South still call for this specific type of sugar to be used, which highlights the remnants of British colonialism and the influence that geopolitics has on the development of human cuisine and culture at large.

Utilizing the Valrhona WAINA White Chocolate couverture, these bars are comprised of certified organic/fair trade 35% white chocolate. "WAINA owes its slightly beige hue to the inclusion of blond cane sugar. It reveals intense notes of fresh milk on the palate, punctuated with creamy touches which combine beautifully with the aroma of bourbon vanilla." - Valrhona
