Grand Cru Couverture from Sur del Lago<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

One of Valrhona\u2019s Single Origin Grands Crus chocolates, Araguani 72% highlights the characteristics of its home terroir with hints of vanilla, woody notes and bitterness.<\/p>

The cocoa beans used to create Araguani 72% come from Sur del Lago, a region of Venezuela known for its rich soil, which gives the chocolate a woody, earthy and robust aroma. Venezuela\u2019s history as a cacao producer is long and complex, and Valrhona is committed to working with growers to preserve the genetic diversity of the region\u2019s cocoa plants.<\/p>

The name Araguani comes from both the iconic Araguaney tree, and the Guarani, one of the country\u2019s indigenous people. This single origin chocolate couverture is a true tribute to Venezuela, and just as consistent and delicious as every other Valrhona chocolate!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
