Tulakalum is one of Valrhona's most intriguing and rare single-origin couvertures — a dark chocolate from the Solomon Islands, sourced from Trinitario cocoa beans grown in a remote tropical archipelago that produces cacao of exceptional and distinctive character. Few chocolates can claim an origin quite like this.
At 75% cocoa, Tulakalum is bold and powerful, yet never harsh. Its flavour profile is complex and layered: dried fruit and warm spice weave through a deep cocoa base, with a long, lingering bitterness that speaks clearly of its extraordinary terroir. It is a chocolate that demands attention — and rewards it generously.
