I can’t even begin to convey just how absolutely amazed I am, for all that Valrhona does: They have really taken a stance and shown up, both with Covid-19 and now with the racial injustices that have come to light. Thank you so much Valrhona! Your ethics are a bright shining light! 🙏

4 years ago, I was newly returned from a Chocolate Bonbons class with Valrhona, at their world famous L’Ecole du grand Chocolat in Tain L’Hermitage, nestled on the banks of the Rhône River. A place I had dreamed of going, but I never thought I’d actually get there. And yet, there I was, in their kitchen. Completely in awe.

We were trained by Pastry Chef Christine Domange, who has been with Valrhona for a great many years. He is an incredible teacher, with amazing overview of what and how everyone is doing, he is kind and has a wealth of knowledge, -and he’s patient. Very patient.

I met some fantastic people, some of who I’m honored to call friends. Many have gone on to do remarkable accomplishments, some I have shared here on XOCOCO’s page.

Good luck!

Using the quarantine time to try new chocolate from Fazer, I grabbed on my latest shopping trip.

It is a very nice blend of very dark chocolate, dried raspberry pearls and licorice.

Husband was surprised that he liked it, probably because of the licorice.
I was surprised I liked it, because Fazer is a mass produced product.

And such a pretty bar!
