Valrhona Foodhall

Valrhona is on a mission to revolutionise the world of chocolate, with its expert chocolatiers dreaming up unique ingredient combinations. Founded by pastry chef Albéric Guironnet in Tain l'Hermitage, France, Valrhona is now a globally recognised brand. From 1922 to the present day, the company has represented the pinnacle of chocolate-making expertise.

Valrhona is known for its inventive delights; perhaps you'll indulge in a milder 36 per cent cocoa recipe or one with a creamy blonde hue and a beautifully biscuity flavour. The chocolate maker can event boast that "the world's most bitter" has a place in its selection – making it a natural partner for a robust pint of porter. For something sweeter, try a Valrhona chocolate bar that's scattered with crunchy caramel pearls, or infused with the taste of toasted nuts. Each has a delightful, well-tempered "snap" and comes packaged in an attractive cardboard sleeve. Or, if you'd like to get creative yourself, take a look at Valrhona's cooking range.

Now, as a certified B-Corp business, Valrhona is pushing forward to help the planet, too. Expect the company's artisan chocolate bars to be made from responsibly sourced cocoa, with all crops being traceable to the farmers who grew them.
