Venezuela alone supplies all three iconic cacao varieties gathered here. The Venezuela 75% Dark Chocolate Bar is one of the rare blends of François Pralus, crafted in Roanne from Criollo for deep cocoa notes, Forastero for fruity intensity, and Trinitario for tartness and a hint of smokiness. The result is a bold, complex, and aromatic dark chocolate with a long finish. Melt it into a dense chocolate tart, or pair a square with an aged Armagnac.

The Maker
Cocoa ripens under distant skies, and it is in France that it finds its voice. Chocolats Pralus was founded in 1948 in Roanne, France, on generations of pastry and chocolate-making expertise. Led by master chocolatier François Pralus, the house works bean to bar, starting from cocoa beans carefully selected from some of the world’s finest origins. Its range covers chocolate bars, including single-origin creations, as well as pralines, signature specialties, and gourmet confections. At François Pralus, traditional French craftsmanship and a taste for innovation go hand in hand, in pursuit of authentic flavor.
