Valrhona Manjari 64% Dark Chocolate Baking Block

Manjari Madagascar 64% Dark Couverture Chocolate Blocks

Tangy & Fruity

Manjari unleashes the fresh, tangy notes of red berries, with a delicate finish recalling toasted nuts and dried fruit.

Smitten with the powerful, uniquely flavorsome beans that its sourcing teams uncovered in Madagascar, in 1990, Valrhona decided to declare its love by creating Manjari.

Manjari is the product of a long-running partnership between Valrhona and the Millot plantation in northern Madagascar.

Caraïbe Dark Couverture Chocolate Blocks

Balanced & Roasted

Caraïbe is a perfectly balanced blend. Subtle sweetness and notes of roasted dried fruit give way to a long finish of delicate almond, roasted coffee and oak flavors.

Caraïbe is a subtle blend of cocoa aromatic profiles typical of the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Jamaica and Togo. These profiles are blended to obtain Caraïbe’s unique and consistent flavor, which is both balanced and roasted. Created in 1988, Caraïbe is wonderfully balanced chocolate with a mellow, well-rounded flavor. Thanks to its great equilibrium Caraïbe has become L’École Valrhona’s benchmark product.

Valrhona Guanaja 70% Dark Chocolate Baking Block

Guanaja Dark Couverture Chocolate Blocks

Bittersweet & Elegant

In 1986, Valrhona created the world’s bitterest chocolate using 70% cocoa. It was quite an achievement! This heightened cocoa content required a complete rethink of how things were done. This is when we started to select cocoas with absolute precision, because with such a low proportion of sugar there was nothing to mask imperfections. Cocoa was therefore selected according to its aromatic profile in order to create balanced blends with a unique flavor. Guanaja immediately revolutionized the market and became a benchmark product. Its name, Guanaja, is a nod to the first cocoa beans given to Christopher Columbus when he washed up on the Caribbean island of Guanaja on July 30, 1502.

Guanaja is a masterful blend with balanced bitterness that reveals a complex range of fruit, coffee, molasses and floral notes. 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 flavor, which is both bittersweet and elegant
