Reputed to be among the best chocolates in the world, we tasted Valrhona before we read the reviews. We definitely agree with the reviews and thought their chocolate were among the best we tasted. It was smooth, refined and the kind you'd want to have lingering in your mouth for a while. I haven't tried it with wine as we usually ate our chocolates as dessert after dinners. But I'm sure it's good as a standalone treat. We just kept a mental note not to indulge (read: consume an entire bar in one sitting) so as to enjoy the chocolates longer.
We grabbed a few bars at Changi Airport in Singapore on our way back to Manila last year. Unfortunately, despite picking up 3 kinds of their dark chocolate offerings, I was only able to take photos of the last bar we were preserving in the fridge. And so to celebrate our acquisition of a lot in Antipolo where we will be building our new home, the Clairvoyant and I decided to open the last bar of Valrhona that we had. It was perfect and we should get some for when we inaugurate the house later this year.
