Launched in the 1960s, Extra Bitter is one of the iconic products on which Valrhona’s reputation has been founded.
EXTRA BITTER’s intense chocolatey flavor and powerful character is set against a bitter body.
Extra Bitter is a subtle blend of cocoa aromatic profiles typical of the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Madagascar, Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana. These profiles are blended to obtain Extra Bitter’s unique and consistent flavor, which is both chocolatey and intense.
