Born in 1922 in the French village of Tain l’Hermitage, Valrhona has been imagining the future of premium fine chocolate for over a century.

From bean to bar, every step is carefully managed, working hand-in-hand with cocoa producers to build a fairer and more sustainable cocoa industry.

“Together, good becomes better.”

Choosing Valrhona means committing to responsible chocolate.

100% traceability

Every Valrhona cocoa bean can be traced back to its origin, right down to the plot. Valrhona maintains long term partnerships with the farmers & producers that average 8 years, across 14 countries.

Transparency helps ensure quality,
sustainability and accountability throughout the supply chain.

Social Responsibility

Valrhona is committed to creating a fairer and more sustainable cocoa industry through long-term partnerships with cocoa producers.

Rather than purchasing cocoa through the stock exchange, Valrhona works directly with its producer partners and supports farmers through pricing models based on the Living Income Reference Price, helping to provide more stable and sustainable livelihoods. There is a zero child labour and zero deforestation policy across its cocoa supply chain.

Supporting farmers means supporting the future of cocoa.
