Balanced and Roasted -- Valrhona's Caraïbe is a perfect balance of smooth chocolate and roasted dried fruit notes with a slightly oaky finish.
Created in 1988, Caraïbe is a wonderfully balanced chocolate with a mellow, well-rounded flavour. Thanks to its great equilibrium Caraïbe has become L’École Valrhona’s benchmark product. Its authentically chocolatey flavour makes it a popular choice for kitchen trials. Its profile is more accessible than Guanaja’s so it is a great favourite, particularly among children. Caraïbe’s name pays homage to the diversity of the Caribbean islands, whose cocoa beans inspired its creation.
Caraïbe is a subtle blend of cocoa aromatic profiles typical of the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Jamaica and Togo. These profiles are blended to obtain Caraïbe’s unique and consistent flavor, which is both balanced and roasted. This blend, impeccably produced since 1988, is a showcase for genuine prowess and skill.
With its intensely bitter notes, woody highlights and hints of toasted nuts, Caraïbe leads you on an intoxicating dance through the cacao forest.

At above 26°C, cocoa butter in chocolate products may start melting, and recrystallize as white streaks or marks on the chocolate's surface. This phenomenon is called 'fat bloom'. While it may not have the perfect appearance, bloomed chocolates are safe to eat and use in recipes.
During summer months when the temperature is relatively warm, we advise adding cold packaging to your shipment in order to minimize the risk of melting. While we are careful and diligent in maintaining the temperature of your package, we unfortunately cannot guarantee the products in the cold packaging will not be affected by unusually warm weather and irregular transit time.
