Valrhona’s story began in 1922 with passion, commitment and excellence as its guiding lights. Ever since, these three values have paved our way, allowing us to push back the boundaries of creativity and flavor. Alongside our partners and customers, we imagine the best of chocolate every day. We do this in the way we select and cultivate cocoa, preserving the diversity of different terroirs and prioritizing sustainable links with our partner plantations. We do this when we make our chocolate and expand the aromatic palette, supplying all artisans with unique materials that let them express their creativity and unleash their talent. We do this by passing on flavor and savoir-faire, putting our expertise at the service of artisans and the gastronomy world. By partnering with a wide range of chocolate lovers and chocolate professionals, we can continue to bring out the best in our material, expressing and developing its infinite multitude of flavors. Valrhona. Let’s imagine the best of chocolate.

TCHO Chocolate is a Certified B Corporation. Founded in 2008, TCHO Chocolate crafts award-winning and imaginative chocolate by collaborating directly with cocoa farmers at flavor labs across the world to grow better, more consistent cacao beans to create authentic craft chocolate to inspire the world’s chefs, hobby bakers, and chocolate enthusiasts. Like wine or coffee, cacao’s inherent flavors vary based on the terroir where it is grown, as well as on key processes, like fermentation or roasting, that influence the development of flavor. Since not all cacao is created equal, TCHO established TCHO Source, a one-of-a-kind sourcing and educational partnership with farmers, co-operatives, and agronomists all over the world. By installing TCHO Flavor Labs in key cacao-producing locations, creating industry cacao sensory analysis standards, conducting sensory training, developing standardized fermentation and drying processes, improving infrastructure, and sharing information throughout the world of cacao, TCHO has turned its suppliers into co-creators. From there, TCHO hand-selects every ingredient used to craft its award-winning chocolates for a great experience from first glance to last bite. As a certified B Corporation, we lean on our founding value of curiosity to find new ways to use our business to better the world through chocolate. That's why TCHO is Chocolate. Fair & Square.
