Rich and flavorful with a deep yet balanced bitterness, this Valrhona Guanaja 70% dark chocolate has set the standard for gourmet dark chocolate since 1986. Guanaja is the world's first bittersweet chocolate made with 70% cacao. With low sugar and cocoa butter to mask imperfections, the heightened cacao content puts the chocolate flavor front and center, requiring chocolatiers to blend this product with absolute precision.
The result is an intense, richly bitter chocolate whose flavor blossoms to reveal an aromatic range of warm notes, floral tones, and hints of nuttiness, with an exceptionally long-lingering finish. A touch of real vanilla helps to balance the bittersweet chocolate's flavor. Its blend of cocoas comprises flavors typical of chocolate from Trinidad, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire, and Madagascar.
Valrhona's proprietary feve format features an oval shape with an indented center. This shape is suitable for a variety of applications, making this chocolate a versatile addition to your menu.
When pairing with wine, opt for rich reds with dark cherry notes from Bordeaux's left bank to complement the nutty and fruity chocolate, Australian Shiraz / Grenache blends to highlight the chocolate's tangy and creamy nature, or a sweet, lightly sparkling Moscato d'Asti to cut through the intensely dark chocolate with effervescent citrus and peach.
Consider pairing this chocolate with bold, bitter, full-bodied beers like double chocolate stouts to balance the chocolate's complexity and intensity or dark India pale ales to sweeten and soften the chocolate's finish.
