New Grand Crus from the “New World” Paradise Island

When Christopher Columbus discovered the “New World” and all of its glorious bounty of tastes, plants and people, his first stop was what is now the Dominican Republic, where he was greeted by the Tainos peoples.

 

That same fertile island paradise is the origina of Trinitario cocoa which is used to produce Valrhona’s Taïnori 64% Grand Crus. Exuding flavors of yellow fruit with notes of roasted almonds, the fruity and long lasting character of this Valrhona chocolate are certain to be a hit with all chocolate lovers.

 

 

Taïnori 64% Dominican Republic – In the Dominican Republic, the island with the highest elevation in the West Indies, Valrhona has selected and carefully fermented Trinitario cocoa beans from long established plantations.

Taïnori, Grand Cru de Terroir from the Dominican Republic, was born in this region where the subtropical climate and violent cyclones have modeled the landscape into a mosaic of different soils, giving us a rich terroir for chocolate.
