Valrhona Araguani 72%: What It Is and Who It Is For
Valrhona Araguani 72% is a single-origin Venezuelan dark couverture from Valrhona's Grands Crus range, sold as feves in a 3 kg bag or a 3 x 3 kg case. It is made for pastry chefs, chocolatiers and restaurant dessert programs that want an intense, tannic dark chocolate with real complexity rather than a neutral blend.
How Chefs Use It
Araguani shines where the chocolate is the whole point: dark ganache for bonbons and tarts, mousse and cremeux, flourless cake, and enrobing where a long finish is wanted. Its notes of currant, chestnut, liquorice and honey stand up to coffee, caramel and aged spirits. The feve format melts quickly and tempers cleanly for molding and dipping.
Pairs Well With
Compare it with Valrhona Illanka 63%, a fruitier Peruvian single origin, or step to Valrhona Equatoriale 55% for everyday ganache and glazing. See every bag in our Valrhona collection and the full chocolate collection.
