Valrhona, together, good becomes better

Corps de texte

To support its development, Valrhona opened up a unique space in the heart of Paris last June, dedicated to pastry professionals and chocolate lovers alike.  Pushing open the door at 47, rue des Archives, you'll discover three spaces for meetings and exchanges: the bean cellar, to explore the wide aromatic palette of Valrhona chocolates; a unique counter dedicated to cocoa mixology, with a first drink menu devised by Victor Delpierre, world Barista champion and Mixologist; and finally the Chef’s scène, to spotlight partner chefs.

A pioneer and benchmark in the premium chocolate market for professionals, Valrhona has been the partner of taste artisans since 1922. Certified B Corp since January 2020, it drives a collective movement federating cocoa and gastronomy players for a fair and sustainable cocoa sector.
