Agvana
Flavour begins where sweetness leaves room
With Agvana, Felchlin presents a new range of couvertures that places greater emphasis on cacao. Created for chocolatiers, confectioners, pâtissiers and culinary professionals, Agvana combines a contemporary, balanced sweetness with the trusted workability, precision and quality associated with Felchlin.
The recipe puts cacao at the heart of the flavour and combines sugar with premium organic agave fibre. The result is a lighter flavour profile that gives delicate aromas more room to unfold – ideal for desserts, pralines, pâtisserie and modern flavour combinations where every nuance matters.
Agvana is all about indulgence: full in flavour, clean in appearance and reliable to work with. The white couverture in particular, with its bright, pure colour, opens up new possibilities for display cases, cakes, decorations and intricate creations.
For everyone who does more than simply work with couverture – for those who create with it. For everyone who wants to experience cacao in a new way.

For Agvana, we use premium organic agave fibre as a modern ingredient in the recipe. Neutral in flavour, it blends harmoniously into the couverture without masking the delicate aromas of cacao, milk or cacao butter. In this way, it supports Agvana’s contemporary, balanced sweetness while allowing the true flavour of cacao to come to the fore.
The agave is organically grown. What makes its cultivation particularly remarkable is that the plantations require no additional irrigation – rainfall during the wet season provides all the water the plants need to grow.
Cacao from Ghana
The cacao used for this couverture range comes from Ghana, one of the world’s most important cacao-producing countries. Felchlin has worked locally with Yayra Glover Ltd. since 2012. This socially responsible company supports cacao farmers through training and advisory services, promotes good agricultural practices and works to improve living conditions in rural growing communities.
This long-standing partnership produces premium, responsibly sourced cacao beans – the flavour foundation of our couvertures.

What Makes Agvana Different from Traditional Couvertures?
In Agvana, some of the added sugar is replaced with organic agave fibre. This creates a less sweet flavour profile, allowing the delicate aromas of cacao, milk and cacao butter to come through more clearly.
Which Agvana Couvertures Are Available?
The range comprises three varieties: Agvana 34% white couverture, Agvana 38% milk couverture and Agvana 60% dark couverture. Each variety has its own distinctive flavour profile and is suited to different applications.
Is Agvana Sugar-Free?
No. Agvana is not sugar-free. The recipes still contain sugar, but some of it is replaced with organic agave fibre. Depending on the variety, the agave fibre content ranges from 14% to 18%.
Why Is Agave Fibre Used?
Agave fibre is neutral in flavour and blends harmoniously into the couverture. It does not mask the delicate aromas of cacao, milk or cacao butter, helping to create a more balanced sweetness and a clearer flavour profile.
What Applications Is Agvana Suitable For?
Agvana is ideal for pralines, pâtisserie, desserts, cakes, ganaches, coatings and decorations. The couvertures were developed for professional users and offer the trusted workability associated with Felchlin.
When Will the Agvana Couvertures Be Available, and How Can I Order Them?
The new Agvana couvertures will be available in Switzerland from 1 September 2026, with the international launch following on 1 January 2027. In Switzerland, the couvertures can be ordered directly from the Felchlin Webshop, through your sales representative or from Pistor. In other countries, please contact your local Felchlin distribution partner.

“The Agvana couvertures won me over from the very first use. Their workability is as reliable as ever, so I did not have to adapt any of my production processes. What I find particularly exciting is the balanced sweetness, as it gives me greater freedom to incorporate other ingredients without overwhelming the flavour of my creation.”
David Pasquiet, Artisan Chocolatier Suisse
Modern sweetness. More room for flavour. Cacao first.
