How should I taste Valrhona chocolates? Sight: First of all, look at the chocolate. Concentrate carefully on the polish, the shine, and especially the color. Colors can range from milky beiges, to pure mahoganies, to deep darks browns. It is essential detail that reveals the varieties of cocoa beans used. Smell: Next, smell the chocolate, breathe deeply and fill your mind and body with its aromas. Hearing: Listen by breaking a square into fragments between your fingers, and listen to the snap it makes. Taste: Start by biting into a quarter of a chocolate square, to taste the initials flavors, aromas and consistency. They chew again and again, twice, three times (or more) and take the time to savor the various individual flavors that emerge. Let the chocolate melt slowly and delicately on your tongue to reveal its flavors and its aromas. Touch: Take a moment to concentrate on your tongue, to feel, to savor the different flavors: acid, then if you wait a little longer you may experience the bitterness.   Taste again, but this time concentrates on your nose, and discover the aromas that unleash them one after the other. Similar to wine, you will first smell the most volatile aromas (primary or head aromas): These are instantaneous, fleeting flower or fruit aromas, which volatilize quickly and fade away in the middle of the tasting process. These are essentially hot aromas, such as roasted almonds, hot bread crust, spice mix, etc. Allow yourself to linger over the taste experience, for you will then be able to savor the less volatile aromas of certain chocolates, known as final aromas: These are often woody, roasted nibs (cocoa nibs), malty, etc. We hope you enjoy your sensorial journey! How long will the chocolates last and how do I conserve them? Each product has a label with an expiration date (best if used by date). Please refer to this date. We recommend conserving them in a cool place (between 57 and 64F) away from direct sunlight. Possible solutions would be to place them in a cool area or in the vegetable compartment of your refrigerator, provided you keep them in the original packaging, wrapped carefully in a tightly sealed plastic bag. The chocolates should be removed from the refrigerator about two hours before tasting to enjoy their full flavor. How can I get corporate discounts?
