Nicolas Berger Buckwheat & Venezuela 42% couverture is a distinctive vegan chocolate that pairs Venezuelan cocoa with beautifully roasted buckwheat, resulting in a flavour profile that is both gourmet and deeply comforting. As with all of Nicolas Berger’s creations, Nicolas Berger Buckwheat & Venezuela 42% is crafted through his rigorous bean‑to‑bar philosophy, meaning every stage, from bean selection to roasting and refining, is performed with uncompromising precision to reveal terroir‑driven character.
The cocoa is sourced from the Sur del Lago region of Venezuela, a renowned terroir located between Lake Maracaibo and Pico Bolivar. This area produces exceptional Criollo and Trinitario cocoa varieties shaped by maritime influence, altitude, and centuries‑old agricultural practices. The plantations Berger works with continue traditional cultivation and fermentation methods while integrating modern advancements in drying and bean selection, ensuring a cocoa of consistent quality and aromatic depth.
The addition of roasted buckwheat enhances the chocolate with a unique, naturally toasted character, offering chefs warm cereal notes, subtle nuttiness, and an appealing rusticity. This creates a couverture that is both versatile and distinctive, ideal for chefs looking to introduce new flavour layers into modern patisserie. The chocolate’s 42% cocoa content strikes a balance between richness and delicacy, making it suitable for applications where nuanced flavour is essential.
Nicolas Berger Buckwheat & Venezuela 42% performs exceptionally well across ganache, creams, mousses, moulding, bars, and decor, offering smooth texture, clean melt, and stable fluidity. Its vegan composition also provides chefs with a premium plant‑based option ready to support contemporary dessert innovation.
