Celebrate Easter with Valrhona Collection 

Easter festivities are approaching! It's time to order your Easter chocolates to spoil your loved ones. And for amateur pastry chefs: what if you made your own chocolate Easter egg? 

 

Valrhona Easter Chocolate Collection 

The Valrhona Easter chocolate collection celebrates spring with elegant design and vibrant colors evoking lush nature. A nod to agroforestry, a farming method supported by Valrhona, which respects the soil by mixing different tree species and allows producers to diversify their income. 

In this collection, you'll find: 

  • New: Easter cones filled with praline, gianduja, or ganache eggs, coated in milk or dark chocolate. 
  • The "Indulgent" gift box reveals a selection of dark, milk, and Dulcey Easter-themed flat-sided chocolates. 
  • The "Chocolate Creations", a beautiful gift box, contains caramel-filled eggs, Croustibilles, as well as hazelnuts and almonds coated in milk or Dulcey chocolate. 

1% for the planet : Further proof of Valrhona’s commitment to preserving the environment 

Every year in France, chocolate is a staple Easter treat: the French consume around 13kg per person per year, according to the Syndicat du Chocolat. It’s a special time to think about the chocolate you’re going to buy or give as a gift. In 2024, how about choosing responsible chocolate that contributes to a fair and sustainable cocoa industry and helps protect the planet? 
Valrhona was certified B-Corp for the second time in January 2024 and is going further in its commitment by taking part in the 1% for the Planet initiative in its Printemps 2024 range.This year, Valrhona is offering a collection in springtime colors that brings together commitment and indulgence. 

With its Spring 2024 collection, Valrhona joins 1% for the Planet, an international collective of companies committed to protecting the environment. This means Valrhona will donate 1% of the annual sales for this range to environmental nonprofits that support causes we hold dear. These include sustainable cocoa farming, agroforestry, reforestation, and improving the living conditions of cocoa producers.

Some tips before you start:

  • It is important to choose pastry chocolate, also known as "couverture chocolate," such as Valrhona chocolate. It contains a little more cocoa butter, making it easier to work with.
  • You will need to temper your chocolate. Tempering involves heating and cooling your melted chocolate to specific temperatures. The goal is for your Easter egg to have a beautiful shiny finish.
