In the world of chocolate, Valrhona is a symbol of excellence. Founded by a pastry chef in the Rhône Valley in 1922, the company has become the official supplier of countless renowned pastry makers and chocolatiers, Michelin-starred restaurants, and fine grocery stores. The approach that starts with origins, crus, domain names, and the aromatic palette of flavors found in the chocolate collection makes it an outstanding brand. Its success in a highly profitable niche market is due to an equation that means that although just 1 percent of the world production comes out of its factory, 98 percent of its clientele are well-known names. Valrhona is present in sixty-six countries and sells more than half its production outside France. Website: www.valrhona.com
