Cao Grande is the new AB and ECOCERT certified organic chocolate from Valrhona. Cao Grande Noir 70% dark chocolate and Cao Grande lait 39% milkchocolate. It’s available as 100g bars for consumers and 3kg blocks. Packaging is made of recyclable paper. Printing ink is made of organic plant based paint. The Swedish Valrhona distributor has a picture of the two bars. No specific date when they are available on the market this autumn.

I got them right here [:D] The 70%, from what I remember, is strong and a bit rough, but I need to re-taste it some more. The milk is very milky, but again, I need to re-taste it as well.

Where did you get the term “Cao Grande?” They’re packaged as “Nature et Chocolat” over here.

From a webpage at the Swedish Valrhona distributor (see above). Look at the picture.

Oh! I must have missed that! Well, that’s interesting. The packaging is different than what I have. The script is the same, but it says “Nature & Chocolat” with a slightly different color scheme as well.
