The maker

Valrhona

Valrhona, founded in 1922 in Tain-l'Hermitage in France's Rhone Valley, is known worldwide as 'the chocolate of chefs.' In 1986 managing director Antoine Dodet set his teams an impossible challenge: a dark chocolate more intense than any before, proudly stamped 70% on the wrapper, then a revolution in fine chocolate. The result was Guanaja, named for the Caribbean island where Christopher Columbus first received cocoa beans in 1502. Built like a perfumer's composition from five to six fine cocoas, it became the benchmark for pastry chefs from Pierre Herme onward and still defines structured, grown-up dark chocolate.
