These 18 individually wrapped squares deliver 85% cacao intensity — a clean, fruited bitterness without harshness, with subtle floral notes that linger on the palate. Each carré is designed to melt slowly, revealing complexity rather than sugar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout this product\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eValrhona has sourced Ecuadorian cacao since the 1970s, building long-term relationships with growers in the Manabí region. Abinao reflects that commitment: no lecithin, no unnecessary additives, just fermented and roasted beans transformed into chocolate that tastes like its origin. The 85% designation sits at the threshold between approachable and uncompromising — ideal for someone moving beyond mainstream dark chocolate but not yet seeking the austere 90%+ category.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to enjoy\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMelt a square on your tongue slowly, letting the flavors develop without chewing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePair with strong espresso or a dry Oloroso sherry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreak into pieces for a composed chocolate tart or mousse.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGift to the chocolate enthusiast who already owns a cacao nib grinder.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNet weight: 90g (18 carrés)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCacao origin: Ecuador (Manabí region)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCacao content: 85%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Valrhona\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEAN: 3395328715659\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStorage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from heat and strong odors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- iberian-enriched-v1 --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e⭐ Why we love this\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eValrhona's Abinao represents the French obsession with purity and terroir applied to chocolate — a philosophy deeply rooted in European artisanal tradition. At 85%, it strikes the perfect balance for serious chocolate lovers: complex enough to reveal the tropical fruit and floral character of Ecuadorian cacao, yet accessible enough to be genuinely pleasurable rather than austere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🍷 Pairing suggestion\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePair each square with a glass of dry Oloroso sherry from Jerez — the wine's nutty oxidation complements the chocolate's fruited bitterness beautifully. Alternatively, serve after a light Spanish meal with strong espresso or a small glass of aged rum to echo the cacao's origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e📍 From Spain\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the cacao originates from Ecuador's Manabí region, Valrhona's mastery is French-rooted, and this chocolate is distributed through El Corte Inglés, Spain's flagship luxury retailer. It represents the best of cross-European craft: Ecuadorian terroir refined through generations of French chocolate expertise, now accessible to Spanish gourmet enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"El Corte Inglés","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58179911451008,"sku":"A26100466","price":107.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/5020\/9152\/files\/00113330700868____7__1200x1200_1d9e0342-39bb-4131-b145-99cff75ac188.jpg?v=1780088688","url":"https:\/\/iberiandirect.com\/products\/valrhona-abinao-85-dark-chocolate-single-origin-squares-90g","provider":"Iberian Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
