Araguani is one of Valrhona's most revered single-origin couvertures — a Venezuelan dark chocolate crafted from rare Criollo cocoa beans, one of the most prized and delicate cacao varieties in the world. Criollo accounts for less than 5% of global cacao production, and its scarcity is matched only by the extraordinary quality of the chocolate it produces.
At 72% cocoa, Araguani is intense yet supremely refined. Where many high-percentage dark chocolates lead with blunt bitterness, Araguani offers something far more nuanced: notes of dried fruit and subtle spice, with a smooth, lingering finish that speaks of exceptional raw material and masterful craftsmanship. This is a chocolate for those who understand the difference.
