Guanaja dark chocolate 70% - 250g
The iconic Guanaja 70% is a staple of Valrhona's baking chocolates. Launched in 1986, it revolutionized the world of chocolate with its intense bitterness and has become a benchmark for chefs worldwide. Guanaja is made from a complex blend of cocoas from Trinidad, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Ghana, Ivory Coast, and Madagascar, offering roasted and bitter notes perfect for original creations. Pair it with dried fruit, berries, or even ginger for bold desserts.
Caribbean dark chocolate 66% - 250g
Caraïbe 66% is a well-balanced dark chocolate, prized for its rich chocolate and roasted nut notes. Created in 1988, it has become a Valrhona School staple thanks to its smooth, slightly woody flavor. Use it to make ganaches, mousses, ice creams, or as a coating. Its precise tempering curve guarantees a smooth and glossy texture, ideal for refined pastry creations.
Jivara milk chocolate 40% - 250g
Jivara 40% redefined milk chocolate standards in 1995, offering a unique intensity of flavor with a true cocoa taste. This baking milk chocolate develops creamy notes of vanilla and malt, perfect for pairing with nuts or exotic fruits. Jivara is ideal for a variety of creations, from entremets and ganaches to chocolate mousses.
Dulcey chocolate 35% - 250g
Dulcey 35% is a gourmet innovation from Valrhona, introduced in 2012 as the fourth color of chocolate. Born from an oversight, this blond chocolate offers a biscuity sweetness with shortbread notes and a hint of salt. Its creamy texture is perfect for indulgent desserts, from entremets to ganaches.
