Guanaja 70% Bittersweet Chocolate Fèves from Valrhona

Stock your baking shelf like a professional pastry chef. Fèves—flat couverture chocolate discs similar to baking wafers or drops—are made only by Valrhona and are often used in professional restaurant kitchens. Their high cocoa butter content and tapered, oval shape are designed for optimal, even tempering, melting and shaping, which make them ideal for glazes, ganaches, puddings and ice cream. And since fèves are already in smaller pieces, there’s no need to waste time or energy chopping a baking bar. 

Guanaja is one of Valrhona’s signature dark chocolates. While most bittersweet chocolate hovers around 60%, Guanaja contains 70% cocoa, boasting a more pronounced bitterness and full-bodied chocolate flavor that is still remarkably balanced. 

How to use

It’s best to use this robust chocolate in desserts where you want the chocolate to take center stage. Think silky-smooth chocolate pies, mousse, soufflé, and frostings and glazes for cakes and eclairs. Don’t be afraid to swap in fèves for chocolate chips in your favorite classic cookie recipe. Since they’re designed to melt, the fèves will create luscious pools so that each bite is as chocolatey as the last.
