Dark Baking Chocolate Komuntu 80% - 8.8oz

To celebrate Valrhona's 100th anniversary, a collaborative chocolate was created with the help of suppliers, cocoa partners, employees and customers. Komuntu, a true hymn to diversity, stands out for its bitter, woody power, supported by notes of roasted oatmeal.

An alliance for dark chocolate lovers

Komuntu is a skilful blend with a very high cocoa content: 80%. It reveals woody notes of roasted cocoa beans. Its strong bitterness underpins almost licorice-like aromas reminiscent of Tonka beans.

Responsible, collaborative dark chocolate

This dark baking chocolate is the result of a committed collective and the very expression of responsible chocolate. Its name, Komuntu, is a combination of two terms. “Komunumo” means community in Esperanto. “Ubuntu” is an African word-concept meaning ‘I am through what we are’. The merging of these terms materializes the link between the collective at the origin of its creation. In 2022, on the occasion of its launch, 100% of the profits collected from this chocolate were distributed equitably among our 15 cocoa-producing partners. These funds were used to finance community support projects in areas such as education, health and income diversification.

A dark chocolate to enjoy or use in pastries

Taste this chocolate as a bean or a bar to appreciate its balanced, pleasantly bitter aromatic profile. You can also use this dark couverture chocolate in desserts and pastries. A wonderful opportunity to be inspired by chocolate creations that are open to the world, inviting a cultural and sensory melting pot.
