Valrhona

In a very fundamental way, eating Valrhona is not unlike seeing McDonald's in an unfamiliar land - there is much virtue in being the trusted and reliable type. On the other hand, unlike McDonald's, you should seek and eat Valrhona chocolate with much gusto and frequencies, especially the vintage and single estate kinds.

Valrhona's shop in Tain l'Hermitage sports mountains of bonbons and wall-to-wall assortment of chocolate bars for sampling, a most winning design for this consumer age. While Valrhona bonbons are considered amongst the best of mass produced choices, the real gem are the vintage single estate chocolate bars. A new creation of particular note is the 2004 Criollo dark chocolate from Plantation Palmira of Venezuela - floral, nutty, and a touch of acidity.

If you haven't tried a Valrhona chocolate bar, try it. If you haven't tasted a Valrhona vintage single estate chocolate bar, taste it. If you haven't savored the 2004 Plantation Palmira Fine Criollo chocolate bar, run and get it.
