The Valrhona Caraibe is a fine dark chocolate bar of Grand Cru quality by Valrhona. Made exclusively from the Trinitario bean from the Caribbean islands.
- Caraibe chocolate has a 66% cocoa content providing a moderate dark chocolate bar with not too much bitterness and a smooth melt and lingering finish.
Valrhona, a French master chocolate maker..
Since 1922 the vocation of Valrhona has been to create exceptional gourmet chocolate, while respecting the artisan's know-how and fine French taste. Dedicated to quality, Valrhona selects and purchases its cocoa beans directly from choice plantations, thus securing an exclusive supply of Grand Crus from South America, the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean. Valrhona was one of the first chocolatiers to describe their chocolate in a similar fashion to wine with the labelling of such creations as grand cru, single origin, single estate and even vintage chocolate. Valrhona is regarded as being amongst the best of the few French chocolate makers today creating their chocolate from bean to bar (cacaofevier).

Absolutely gorgeous! The Valrhona Caraibe chocolate bar we have just eaten was so full of flavour, that one square wasn't enough. Don't be put off by the 66% dark chocolate - it wasn't at all bitter and we'd say that it deserves another tasting note 'blob' for fruit flavours. Our first experience of Valrhona dark chocolate and certainly not our last.
