Dark Chocolate Bars - Valrhona's Abinao & Manjari

With over 175 different, luxury dark chocolate bars to choose from (that's enough to try a different dark chocolate bar every day for nearly half-a-year!); single origin, single estate, blends, etc. we take a look at what makes each dark chocolate bar we sell unique.

In Episode 2, we review Valrhona's Abinao & Manjari dark chocolate bars.

Valrhona Abinao, 85% Dark Chocolate Bar.

Created from a blend of Forastero cocoa beans from Africa. An 85% cocoa content chocolate bar with a lingering, bitter intensity.

The high cocoa content is reflected in the powerful, tannic notes.

Low acidity and fruit with high bitterness & roast, flavour profile. Suitable for vegetarians.

"This is a wonderfully smooth 85% with complex flavours coming through. I loved it!"

Valrhona Manjari, 64% Dark Chocolate Bar.

This single origin dark chocolate bar is very popular, being created from fine flavour Criollo and Trinitario cocoa beans from Madagascar.

Typical of this region, the Manjari has fruit notes in abundance. It won the 2010 Great Taste Awards.

"Full of fruit with a tart edge and almost zingy - this is a must for your to-buy list".

Valrhona's Manjari Dark Chocolate is also available in chips (callets) for exceptional desserts and all types of chocolate work
