70% Dark Chocolate Bar - Guanaja (70g)
Guanaja, the iconic dark chocolate of Valrhona, is created with a complex blend of different aromatic profiles. Guanaja is a subtle blend of cocoa aromatic profiles typical of Trinidad, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire and Madagascar. These profiles are blended to obtain Guanaja’s unique and consistent flavour, which is both bittersweet and elegant. This blend, impeccably produced since 1986, is a showcase for genuine prowess and skill.
SENSORY PROFILE
Guanaja’s forceful tanginess and its comforting notes of bitter cocoa nibs call and respond like the warm, harmonious tones of woodwind instruments intermingling with celebratory song and the gentle rhythm of a percussion section.
Founded in 1922, Valrhona is a French premium chocolate manufacturer that has created, in 1986, the first chocolate in the world to reach 70% cocoa. For this, a rigorous selection of Grand Cru chocolate and a completely new process was necessary.
Another innovation from Valrhona is the fourth colour of chocolate: Blond. It was during a patisserie demonstration that the creative director of Valrhona forgot some white chocolate in a bain-marie, hence changing its colour to blond and creating smells of freshly baked shortbread and caramelised milk. This chocolate is called Dulcey and is available here.
Cocoa beans from Madagascar, sugar, cocoa butter, emulsifier (sunflower lecithin), natural vanilla extract. Milk (made in a facility that uses milk).
