Along with EXTRA BITTER and GUANAJA, this 'Mariage de Grands Crus' is one of the Valrhona icons that brought the brand's products such acclaim and instantly unveiled the rare and distinct character of a great chocolate blend. The most demanding professionals have always been drawn to this couverture, like Robert Linxe who has been singing its praises since the 1980s. "I've been using CARAQUE forever. Not too tart, not too bitter. The flavor stands up over time. And it smells heavenly!"
