Details

The World's First 70% Dark Chocolate

In 1986, Valrhona revolutionized the world of chocolate with the creation of Guanaja. As the first chocolate ever to reach 70% cocoa content, it set a new standard for intensity and elegance, instantly becoming a legendary classic among pastry chefs and connoisseurs.

Guanaja is the flagship of Valrhona's Mariages de Grands Crus collection. It is defined by an intense bitterness that reveals a complex range of aromatic notes, including hints of flowers, fruits, and coffee, balanced by a warm, grilled finish. Originally considered so powerful that it had to be portioned into small squares, it remains the benchmark for "bittersweet" dark chocolate today. Whether you are using it to create a decadent molten lava cake or savoring a square with an espresso, Guanaja offers an unmatched depth of flavor.
