Step into the world of Valrhona Guanaja 70% Dark Baking Chocolate, an iconic choice for both professional chefs and home bakers who demand exceptional quality and unmatched flavor. Introduced in 1986, Guanaja 70% was a groundbreaking creation, being the first dark chocolate to reach a 70% cocoa content, a feat that shook up the chocolate world. At the time, most chocolates on the market contained less than 70% cocoa, and the creation of Guanaja 70% redefined the boundaries of what dark chocolate could be. With its intense, complex, and sophisticated profile, Guanaja 70% quickly became the benchmark for the world's greatest chocolatiers and pastry chefs.
Guanaja 70% is a product of Valrhona’s rigorous approach to chocolate making.
The company took on a monumental challenge when creating this dark chocolate—producing a high cocoa content without compromising on flavor or texture. To achieve this, Valrhona carefully selected the best cocoa beans from seven different terroirs across the globe: Trinidad, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Madagascar, and more. This selection of fine cocoa beans is what gives Guanaja its rich and unparalleled taste, with a harmonious balance of roasted, bitter, and fruity notes that no other chocolate can replicate.
The signature flavor of Guanaja 70% is bold yet balanced.
The roasted and bitter notes are complemented by a subtle acidity and depth, making it a perfect match for a wide variety of desserts and gourmet creations. The chocolate's strength and depth are brought to life by the distinct bitter cocoa nibs that provide a sharp, aromatic punch. Its smooth texture and complex flavor profile also allow it to be paired beautifully with a variety of ingredients, including dried fruits, red fruits, ginger, and Tonka bean, bringing out the full richness of your creations. The possibilities for using Guanaja 70% are limitless—its robust and refined taste shines in everything from ice creams and sorbets to chocolate bonbons, mousses, ganaches, and cakes.
This collection features Guanaja 70% in a variety of sizes, including convenient Mini Dark Chocolate Bars (0.7oz), perfect for indulgent snacking or giving as a gift, and larger formats like the 8.8oz and 35.27oz bags of dark baking chocolate, ideal for professional chefs or large-scale baking projects. With its carefully crafted, uniform consistency and excellent melting properties, Guanaja 70% ensures top-quality results in every use, whether you’re creating intricate pastry decorations or working on a batch of homemade chocolate bars.
