Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between vegan and plant-based?
The term "plant-based" refers only to the origin of the ingredients (from the plant world). The term "vegan" goes further: it guarantees the total absence of animal-derived ingredients throughout the production chain, with no animal testing. Amatika is certified Vegan by the Vegetarian Association of France (AVF).
How does Amatika replace milk?
In Amatika White 35%, powdered milk is replaced by 21.8% defatted almond powder. In Amatika 46% (milk alternative), it’s 16.1% almond powder. The result: a naturally smooth profile with notes of sweet and roasted almonds.
Is Amatika tempered like classic chocolate?
Yes, exactly the same way. The tempering curves are almost identical to traditional white/milk chocolates (40-45°C / 26-28°C / 28-31°C depending on the reference). No adjustments needed in your professional habits.
What pairings work with Amatika?
Amatika 46% pairs well with orange blossom, jasmine, almond paste, banana, peach, and lemon. Amatika White 35% goes well with cherry, rhubarb, anise, violet, black truffle, rosemary, as well as raspberry, lemon, and coconut.
Is Amatika suitable for lactose-intolerant people?
Yes. Amatika contains no dairy products. However, it is made in a facility that handles milk (possible traces). For severe allergies, check the sachet label for the exact mention.
