Valrhona Dark Chocolate Couverture Oriado 60%

Oriado is Valrhona's most accessible organic dark couverture — and one of the most thoughtfully crafted. A certified organic blend of Dominican and Peruvian cocoa beans, it brings together two of the world's most characterful cacao origins to create a dark chocolate that is greater than the sum of its parts: smooth, well-rounded, and genuinely complex, yet approachable enough for the full range of professional applications.

At 60% cocoa, Oriado sits in a sweet spot — intense enough to deliver real dark chocolate depth, balanced enough to work harmoniously with almost any flavour. Notes of dried fruit and subtle spice weave through a smooth cocoa base, with a clean, satisfying finish that speaks of exceptional organic raw material. For chocolatiers and pastry chefs who prioritise sustainability without compromising on quality, Oriado is the natural choice.
