Four Steps for Tasting Valrhona
Step1
Observe
The crystallization of pure, natural cocoa butter
adds an extra layer of luster to the exterior of chocolate
That's why quality chocolate is usually glossy
Step2
Smell
Aroma is an important constituent of chocolate flavor
Put a chocolate treat below your nose, inhale slowly and see
whether the aroma is pure, rich and recognizable
Step3
Listen
When you break a piece of quality chocolate
it should make a crisp sound
and reveal even and delicate, dense texture
Step4
Taste
This is a key step for identifying differences in flavors
It is a process in which you use your gustatory and olfactory organs to detect and enjoy the subtle aromas of cocoa
and get yourself immersed in the rich flavors of cocoa
