Product Description
Reviews

Guanaja develops extraordinary bitterness in this masterful blend of Criollo and Trinitario beans that reveals a whole aromatic and complex range of fruit, coffee, molasses and floral notes. Ideal for pastry, chocolate fillings, moulding, enrobing, and icing.

This chocolate is in a format that Valrhona calls 'Les Fèves' - these are small chocolate discs that are easier to work with than bulky chocolate blocks.

Note: Due to high temperatures or high humidity, chocolate products may melt during shipment. We only ship chocolate during fall/winter/spring months when the temperature is cooler. However, we cannot guarantee that chocolate will not melt during the shipping process. Chocolate that has encountered melting will appear dull coloured or may have greyish/white streaks and dots. This is known as 'bloom' and indicates that the cocoa butter is separating from the chocolate and is rising to the surface. Although not the prettiest in appearance, chocolates with bloom are fine to eat with little inpact to the texture or taste of the chocolate.

- 70% cocoa minimum, pure cocoa butter.

- 906 g (2 lb) package option is not in original Valrhona packaging. These have been re-packaged from a larger size bag. - 3 kg (6.6 lb) package option is in original Valrhona packaging.

Will higher-quality chocolate really make a difference in my cakes, muffins and cookies?

You don't really need to use the highest quality chocolates for your cakes, muffins and cookies. There are many fine, reasonably priced chocolates available in supermarkets that are excellent for cake glazes, mousses, fillings, etc. However, as is so often the case in life, there is a reason why certain chocolates are more expensive than others - quality. This is the reason why professional chocolatiers, bakers and pastry chefs rely on professional quality chocolates. You will find that working with a quality chocolate will eliminate waste, make the process easier and the end product more delicious.

Delicious dark chocolate

Posted by Henri on 2026 Aug 4th

I buy this chocolate just to eat it straight. It is high quality and delicious. Way better quality than the vast majority of chocolate in the North American market. Truly a wonderful product.

The best 70% dark chocolate

Posted by Bou on 2026 Jul 30th

The best 70% dark chocolate, hands down. ? Valrhona Guanaja has an incredibly rich, smooth flavor with the perfect balance of bitterness and sweetness. Whether you enjoy it straight from the bag or use it in your favorite baked treats, the quality truly shines through. Once you bake with Guanaja, it’s hard to go back to anything else. Highly recommended!

Valrhona 70% Guanaja - delicious

Posted by Henri on 2026 Mar 25th

I bought the big bag because I am a chocoholic who wanted a few kilograms of great dark chocolate for my gluttonous consumption of several tabs a day. The product hits the spot and is undeniably premium cocoa. I wish that they also made/offered a darker variant with 85% cocoa, but I know that is a selfish wish and doesn't align with the majority of the market demand. Either way, I'm a happy customer!

Simply the best

Love the Guanaja, pretty versatile. I like it as Ganache and for hot drinking chocolate. The product was sealed in it's original packaging and very fresh.

I would say too expensive to add to baking ingredients, just eat it as is, delicious ?

Excellent et fidèle à la qualité Valrhona. Ce chocolat vaut largement son prix. Légère saveur fruité et pas trop d’amertume, le tout est parfait

Can't go wrong with Valrhona

We use this to make chocolate cremeux and Valrhona in general is worth the investment if you love chocolate desserts.
