Valrhona

The story of Le Grand Chocolat begins in 1922 with the creation of the Chocolaterie du Vivarais in Tain l’Hermitage by a pâtissier  named Albéric Guironnet.

In 1947, the company changed its name to Valrhona, building its reputation on the respect for tradition, total mastery of the quality of its products and a strong commitment to pâtissiers, bakers and confectioners. In 1984, Valrhona turned its attention to non-professional customers, winning them over with its delicious creations.

Then, during the 1990s, the company strengthened its offering to gastronomy professionals the world over by going even further to meet their specific needs through a range of exclusive products and services.
