Flavor Profile Cacao
Secondary Notes Cereals
Hint of Ripe Fruit
Thanks to its high cocoa content, Bahibe enhances the sweetness of milk with intense cocoa notes, with a hint of nuts and a touch of fruity tartness and slight bitterness.
With its local partner, Valrhona has selected the Dominican Republic’s finest beans to create a rare chocolate variety. Our partner is a participant in Cacao Forest, a multi-stakeholder project which numbers Valrhona among its members, alongside producers, scientists, artisan chocolatiers and private companies who are all seeking to identify sustainable models. The idea is to shape the future of cocoa cultivation through agroforestry, a technique which advocates growing cacao among other trees. We combine environmental protection and good living conditions for employees with a demand for high quality and a broad aromatic palette.
Bahibé is inspired by a couverture developed by Valrhona at the request of one its customers in San Francisco.
