Chocolate is a Lot Like People

Last night while enjoying one of our Valrhona organic chocolate bars, I realized that chocolate has a personality just like people. What I mean by this is, have you ever met an individual that you just didn't care for initially, but once you got to know them and their intricacies you found that this individual is actually a great person - maybe even a best friend? I have had this experience myself both with people and chocolate.

When I first tried the Valrhona Cao Grande Dark 70% Organic Chocolate I didn't know what to think. Valrhona's chocolate is complex with strong flavor notes of fruit, bitterness and acidity. The flavor is truly grand and not modest in any way. My first reaction was that this chocolate has too many flavors with too big of a personality. Later on when I actually took the time to relax, slow down and just enjoy a piece of chocolate, I realized how brilliant of a chocolate Valrhona had created. The flavors unveil themselves in a complex array much like an individual might slowly unveil their own personality. The layers of complexity of this chocolate are truly remarkable - much like an individual.

So, I recommend trying one of our Valrhona chocolate bars and sharing it with someone you'd like to know better. It will be worthwhile time spent - even if it is only the chocolate you end up liking.
