Good chocolate but not significantly better than Ghirardelli. Not worth $17 for a pound.
Do you know the fable "The Emperor's New Clothes"? Its about a couple con artists who plan to trick a very vain and foolish king out of his money by claiming to make clothes out of fabric so special that it appears invisible to foolish people. When the con artists present this foolish king with a new robe made out of this magical fabric, the king is astonished that he cannot see the fabric. So, the king lies and claims he is able to see this fabric so that no one will think he is a fool. Even the king's advisors and guardians pretend to see the fabric just so that no one will think they're a fool. As the king parades down the town square in his new 'robe' a child yells out "Look! The emperor has no clothes!". Well folks, I'm here to say that this Valrhona chocolate Guanaja 70% has no clothes. Many people claim this chocolate is magical. I just don't agree. This 16 ounce bag of Valrhona costs about $17. A 12 ounce bag of Ghirardelli chocolate cost about $4 at the local grocery store. I don't taste any noticeable improvement with the Valrhona. Not one bit.Just to be clear, I'm not saying Valrhona makes bad chocolate. Not at all. I used it for chocolate chip cookies and they came out great. I'm saying that I get the same tasting chocolate chip cookies using the cheaper Ghirardelli chocolate chips. Perhaps this is a testament to the quality of Ghirardelli chocolates. Or maybe my palate is not as refined as others. At any rate, this is my honest opinion. People who ate my chocolate chip cookies with Valrhona chocolate did not notice any difference from my usual cookies using Ghirardelli.

great dark chocolate
My wife is a chocolate connoisseur. I chop up a few ounces of these and add them to the chocolate chunk scones I bake for her. She loves them. (I also use them in the few - always chocolate - desserts I make.

First time trying this chocolate and I'm very happy with it
First time trying this chocolate and I'm very happy with it. It's dark enough to have a good bite and slight bitterness without being overwhelming. I used this with the Caramelia and milk chocolate (also Vahlrona) to make a three layer mousse cake and it was definitely one of the best things I've made. I agonized over what to use as a garnish and finally settled on just making chocolate leaves and vines because I didn't want to muddle or distract from the chocolate. Good decision and got rave reviews.
