Valrhona Dark Chocolate Vanuatu Cuvee 66%

Few origins in the world of chocolate are as remote or as compelling as Vanuatu. This South Pacific archipelago, where volcanic soils and a tropical climate create conditions unlike anywhere else on earth, produces Trinitario cocoa beans of extraordinary and distinctive character — and Valrhona's Vanuatu Cuvée 66% captures that character with precision and respect.

At 66% cocoa, this is a bold and confident dark chocolate, yet one with a surprising complexity. Tropical fruit and roasted cocoa lead the flavour, with a pleasantly earthy depth that speaks directly of the volcanic terroir beneath the trees. It is a chocolate that tells you exactly where it comes from — and makes you want to go there.
