Andoa Noire offers a fresh taste and powerful bitterness that develops and becomes more nuanced as you taste it.
In 2009, Valrhona created Andoa Noire to enrich our Single Origin 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 is made exclusively from the best organic and NOP-certified fair-trade ingredients, which is just one example of the ways Valrhona is committing to sustainable development.
