Grand Cru Guanaja 70% Dark Chocolate

One of the world’s great dark chocolates. Valrhona’s Guanaja is a 70% single-origin grand cru bar made from a blend of fine Trinitario and Criollo cacao beans — a benchmark of French chocolate making that has been setting the standard for professional pastry chefs and serious chocolate lovers since its creation in 1986.

Named after the island of Guanaja off the coast of Honduras — where Christopher Columbus first encountered cacao — this bar is intensely bitter, deeply complex, and extraordinarily long in the finish. Notes of roasted coffee, dried fruit, and a subtle floral bitterness that evolves as it melts. Not a chocolate for the faint-hearted: this is dark chocolate at its most uncompromising, and one of the finest 70% bars available anywhere.

Valrhona has been producing grand cru chocolate in the Rhône Valley of France since 1922. Guanaja is their most iconic bar — the one that changed what dark chocolate could be.
