Every bite of chocolate becomes a sensory experience when you choose Valrhona chocolate. This premium chocolate has been produced in the small village of Tain L’Hermitage, France since 1922. Albéric Guironnet, a pastry chef, founded the company with a commitment to creating beautifully complex yet balanced artisan chocolates. Much like the renowned wines of the Rhone Valley, the cocoa beans used to make Valrhona chocolates have been carefully selected for the unique terroir in which they are grown in Venezuela and the Dominican Republic. In fact, Valrhona is one of the few chocolatiers who have established their own plantations for growing cocoa beans. As a result, even the most discerning chocolate lovers can appreciate the expert care that goes into making every piece of Valrhona chocolate.
