Valrhona and I was frozen in my tracks..after what was a day's worth of chocolate shopping...Valrhona still managed to get me. Founded in 1922 by a patissier from Rhone Valley, South France. Valrhona chocolate's the equivalent of vanilla beans (boy, the same old adage) when it comes to visual yardsticks for quality..and gold dusts to pricey desserts.
Warm service, generous samples, 4 pralines and 2,8 € later.
Smooth, redefined. As much as Belgium lays claim to being the country that serves up the bestest chocolate, Valrhona did good to rival that claim. Not too big on their fillings but the milk shells are enough to make me weak in the gut. Variety is limited though suffice for the already indecisive soul. Two options of white were up for grabs.
I was promptly given a discount card to return another day upon the purchase. If only I had time....if only.
