Valrhona Manjari 64% is a single-origin dark chocolate bar from Madagascar, and the bright, fruity counterpoint to Valrhona's more intense darks. According to Valrhona, it was named the top choice in a New York Times feature, "The Only Chocolate Bars Worth Buying," by a panel of 43 culinary professionals. That makes it an easy, confident gift.
Tasting notes: Fresh and tangy, with red fruit and dried fruit notes and a smooth finish. Its fruitiness also makes it a friendly introduction to dark chocolate for people who usually choose milk.
Cacao origin: Single origin Madagascar, from the Millot estate, which Valrhona has worked with for more than 30 years.
Pairing idea: Its bright acidity works with wine. Try a crisp Sauvignon Blanc or a bold Zinfandel.
