EXPERTISE, FROM PLANTATION TO HAUTE GASTRONOMY SINCE ITS BIRTH IN 1922, VALRHONA HAS REMAINED TRUE TO ITS VOCATION TO CREATE EXCEPTIONAL CHOCOLATE USING THE WORLD’S VERY BEST COCOA BEANS, IN KEEPING WITH TRADITIONAL HANDCRAFTED CHOCOLATE MAKING TECHNIQUES. BUT VALRHONA’S MISSION IS ALSO ABOUT BEING A PARTNER TO OUR PROFESSIONAL CLIENTS IN ORDER TO BETTER UNDERSTAND AND MEET THEIR EXPECTATIONS AND HELP THEM SUCCEED.

Expert in Fine Cocoa Very few chocolatiers have gone so far as to become chocolate growers in order to understand the process better and to have complete control over the quality of the beans and guarantee the taste of their cocoa. Valrhona, however, masters every step in the chain of production. Their selectors, planters and sourcing experts the world over share the same passion and are working to ensure quality of a level that makes this chocolate truly exceptional.

Creator of Unique Tastes To consistently guarantee the high-quality flavor and aromatic profile of its chocolates, Valrhona is committed to a unique strategy of flavor management. At the heart of this strategy is the involvement of every employee at every level, as well as rigorously applied strict quality controls, from the cocoa plantation to the product’s creation and promotion. It is this strategy that has earned Valrhona chocolate the title of “Grand Cru”.

Pastry-making creativity Valrhona’s internationally-recognized expertise is inextricably linked to the École du Grand Chocolat. Created in 1989 by Frédéric Bau, this center for the creation of pâtisserie and techniques for working with chocolate is the reflection of a traditional savoir-faire developed over time to serve Valrhona’s professional clients.

Ambassador of fine taste Since its creation, Valrhona’s mission has been to contribute to the success of its professional clients in the gastronomy industry, both in France and throughout the world. Acting more as a partner than as a simple supplier, the brand has gradually gained a better understanding of their expectations and has developed close professional ties to support and promote the trade. One of the best illustrations of that relationship is Valrhona’s presence alongside its clients during some of the world’s most prestigious professional events.

Chocolate bonbons & Coffee Break range

VALRHONA, THE ESSENCE OF TRUE CHOCOLATE BONBONS A little bit of history... Chocolate bonbons have been a central part of the great Valrhona chocolate tradition right from the very start. For 90 years, the world-famous brand has been developing a treasure trove of knowledge and expertise as it creates its unique flavors. In our chocolate factory at Tain L’Hermitage, Valrhona still designs and produces a sumptuous palette of chocolate bonbons, staying true to the brand’s chocolatier-patissier heritage by creating continually evolving its fine and Grands Crus chocolates.

Production: The Art of Delicacy There is a real art to making Valrhona Grand Chocolat bonbons, an art that is all about delicacy and finesse. In the chocolate factory at Tain l’Hermitage, traditional production lines gleaming with the patina of time rub shoulders with the very latest technologies designed to further enhance the time-honored procedures favored by the brand. The recipes and craftsmanship that go into making these chocolate bonbons are embedded in the very hearts and souls of our workers, who hand them down from one generation to the next. The production process always places particular emphasis on the skills of the men and women operating the production lines, selecting the bonbons and decorating the chocolates by hand. While actually making the bonbons involves tried and tested recipes and procedures, decorating them requires meticulousness and delicacy. Every bonbon has its own particular time-slot– morning or afternoon. Even if we have been making it for years, every production run must be weighed, evaluated, tasted, scrutinized, and caressed. The love for chocolate bonbons that pervades this chocolate factory simply cannot be denied. As an ambassador for haute gastronomy, Valrhona uses its expertise in chocolate bonbons to promote its primary mission, which is to help all of its craftsmen reach their full potential by giving them the best possible services and advice. Valrhona offers a number of Grand Chocolat bonbons ranges, so that professionals from the world of chocolate and patisserie can create their own signature assortments. All of Valrhona’s chocolate bonbons owe their uniquely special character to the excellence of the raw materials used, the recipe selected, and the elegance and refinement of the production and decoration processes. Take a trip to the world of Haute Chocolate Confectionery.

La Rinette No one knows exactly when La Rinette was created, but we do know that it existed as early as 1948. The story goes that the iconic Valrhona bonbon got its name when one of Valrhona’s founders, Rinette–and that, on hearing him calling for her by this name, the bonbon inventors might have named their latest creation after her. It’s a bonbon that has made it through the decades without ever decreasing in popularity in the eyes of both our employees and our customers. They are still decorated by hand today, because no machine stands a chance of doing a good enough job for this truly exceptional bonbon.

Liquor Chocolates

Chocolate Bonbons are staple ingredients when it comes to mini-boxes–they are perfect presents all year round, particularly to share during the holiday season! Here are a few tips to help you achieve truly impeccable quality.

Mini-box assortments You need to take a few extra precautions when creating your chocolate bonbon assortments, as some of the fillings have an intense, lasting aroma (mint, coffee, cinnamon) that can be transferred to other chocolates. It is therefore preferable not to put them in your mini-box assortments. Children’s choice For your children’s assortments, go for milky ganaches or milder, sweeter pralinés.

Storing chocolate bonbons Tell your clients to keep their chocolate bonbons in a cool, dry place out of the light. They can be eaten up until the Best Before Date on the packaging.

Allergens Our pralinés, marzipans and “Gianduja method” products are all made with nuts (almonds or hazelnuts): there is therefore a risk of allergic reaction (allergy to nuts).

LOYALTY CARDS!

Encourage your customers to visit you more often by offering an attractive customer loyalty offer for example. Why not give them a mini-box of 3 chocolate bonbons for every 100 euros spent?

Different names for your various formats will give your customers good ideas

Find out what your customers like and let them try your various flavors «Are the chocolates for you or are they a gift?» «Do you prefer dark, milk or white chocolate?»

TIP Cut the bonbons to be tasted into two or three pieces - that way your customers can judge the appearance of your chocolates both inside and outside - and the whole operation won’t cost you so much either!

«Is it for an adult, an older person, a family with children?»

«Do you want something that’s very chocolaty (ganache) or would you prefer a milder (praliné, gianduja, marzipan) or nuttier filling?» «Would you like to try some more unusual flavors (spicy, exotic, etc.)?»

Christmas spirit

Our Nibbles range is intended to give customers a little treat to enjoy straight away and is often an impulse buy. If you make it stand out, it can expand your clientele by attracting a broader, more regular public.

Storage recommendations In a chocolate display case between 14°C and 18°C. Humidity levels should be between 55% and 60%. On delivery, keep the fully closed boxes in a cool place (below 18°C) and out of direct light. Avoid sudden changes of temperature when transferring the chocolates from the store-room to the display case, as this can cause a bloom to appear on the surface of the chocolate.

Recommendations It is not a good idea to mix wrapped and unwrapped chocolates. Allergens Our pralinés, marzipans and “Gianduja method” products are all made with nuts (almonds or hazelnuts): there is therefore a risk of allergic reaction (allergy to nuts).
