Notes about packaging chocolate:

For your convenience, Olivenation re-packages some Valrhona and Callebaut items from larger size couverture bags into smaller size bags. Therefore, items may not arrive in the manufacturers original packaging.

Valrhona Araguani 72% Dark Bittersweet Chocolate Feve (wafers)

Valrhona Grand Cru Araguani is an extraordinary bittersweet couverture chocolate made from a blend of the best Criollo and Trinitario cocoa beans from Venezuela. With a 72% cocoa content, Valrhona's Araguani is perfect for the bittersweet chocolate needs for home pastry chefs and professionals alike - it has a powerfully bitter base with strong liquorice, raisin and chestnut notes and the use of brown sugar has given it notes of dark honey.

Storage and Shelf Life:

Chocolate must be kept in a cool (preferably below 65 F) and dry environment. When kept in proper storage chocolate can be in good condition for a year or two or even longer. Chocolate is susceptible to picking up "off notes" from strongly flavored products such as caraway, onion, garlic, etc., and should be stored separately. Occasionally there may be light-coloured streaks or film on the surface of the chocolate. This occurs naturally and is a characteristic of pure chocolate. It will disappear when the chocolate is re-melted.
