Product Information

In 2009, Valrhona created Andoa Noire to enrich our Single Origin Grand Cru chocolates’ aromatic range with an intensely bitter dark couverture. Its name is a tribute to a now-extinct native Peruvian dialect which was spoken in the Loreto region of the Peruvian Amazon.

Andoa is made from cocoa beans carefully selected by Valrhona’s experts and their local partners in Peru. This Single Origin* Grand Cru, with its *cocoa beans sourced from the Piura, San Martín and Amazonas regions, is made exclusively from the best organic ingredients, which is just one example of the ways Valrhona is committing to sustainable development.

This uncompromising organic chocolate with a very high cocoa content is both acidic and extra-bitter and an excellent representation of the Peruvian terroir.

SENSORY PROFILE

Oqo 73%

Like the crackling sound of a fire, Oqo’s whole cocoa bean pieces take you back to cocoa’s earliest origins. It has a raw, almost mineral texture, with crunchy pieces of cocoa bean which erupt like a shower of glittering sparks, and powerful acidic and fruity notes that give way to warm undertones of roasted cocoa. The *cocoa beans are from the Ambanja District (Madagascar).
