Valrhona began in the Rhone Valley France 1922 by pastry chef Albéric Guironnet who was determined to create a unique artisan chocolate with a complex yet balanced flavour. In our opinion, he was very successful, and Valrhona carries on that dedication to quality and distinction today.
Valrhona chocolate begins with cocoa selected from specific regions that produce quality cocoa with unique aromas, flavour and terroir. Known for their artistry in chocolate flavours and impeccable texture, their respect and dedication to the cocoa and cocoa farmers sets them apart from the rest. As active B-Corp members, they are dedicated to the communities they work with building schools and better working environments for all involved. Valrhona purchases cocoa from a select group of producers and regions and dedicate themselves to long term partnerships.
