Valrhona Clean Water Project

⁣For this Chocolate Month celebration we wanted to share with you a project that is very special to us. In 2013, Valrhona partnered with the Norandino Cooperative, an organization working to restore a nearly lost variety of cocoa called “Gran Blanco,” native to the Bigote River Valley in Northwest Peru. This rare cocoa grows on trees that are up to 150 years old. Working together, Valrhona, the Norandino Cooperative and local farmers successfully brought back this nearly extinct cocoa. We are thrilled to announce that Valrhona is going one-step further by launching the Valrhona Clean Water Project to improve the livelihood and public health in the village of Los Ranchos and the Bigote River Valley. We let you discover Illanka 63% (Single Origin Peru). Have a good chocolate month everyone!
