Valrhona Guanaja 70%

Guanaja is one of the great dark chocolates — a grand cru couverture that has defined the upper end of professional dark chocolate for decades. Crafted from a blend of the finest cocoa beans, it delivers a flavour of extraordinary complexity and intensity: roasted coffee, dried fruit, and a long, powerful bitterness that lingers and evolves on the palate in a way that simpler dark chocolates simply cannot match.

At 70% cocoa, Guanaja sits at the point where intensity and complexity are in perfect balance — bold enough to command attention in any application, refined enough to reward the most discerning palate. Available in drop form for easy, precise melting and dosing, it is the dark chocolate that professional chocolatiers worldwide reach for when only the best will do.
