Valrhona Guanaja chocolate

This is the one chocolate bar we come back to time and time again from Valrhona. A really full flavour dark chocolate without the sweeteness of the lower cocoa percentages, which is to my personal taste. We also really like the Amedei 70% toscano black chocolate bar, again for the same reason but quite different flavours really. We have yet to taste Pralus which has been highly recommended and I see their are some really different notes for each of their origins. I love this website, great for presents as well as my new chocolate tasting hobby, well done!

A true dark chocolate lover will find this bar charmingly mellow; someone with a taste for sweeter chocolates should find it mellow enough. It possesses an unusually velvety mouthfeel: no distracting acidity, no intruding bitterness, no simplifying sweetness. Its lasting smoothness is quite seductive and it is hard to stop. This is not an 'impact chocolate', this is the one for that rare moment of relaxation when you can close your eyes and enjoy the delicate treasure of its taste.

After placing an online order for the dark chocolate bar bundle, the Valrhona Guanaja (a 70% dark chocolate but not with the bitterness you might expect from the cocoa percentage) has become quickly become our favourite.

Whatever else we may order from the Chocolate Trading Co, whose service and packaging is always superb, we always include a bar.

Valrhona Guanaja is a dark chocolate bar that never fails to satisfy my craving for dark chocolate. The balance of flavours, the bitterness and sweetness, combine to produce a wonderful chocolate experience that will not disappoint.

The Chocolate Trading Company have made it easy to order really superior chocolate online. Delivery charges were reasonable (you get a choice of several postage options including next day delivery if you really can't wait) and my order was packed with the care and attention, the precious chocolate within deserved.
