Experience Oriado 60%

Each month, we dive into one of Valrhona’s exceptional couvertures—and this time, we’re spotlighting a chocolate that champions balance, sustainability, and stunning flavour: Oriado 60%.

Browse our previous Valrhona chocolate journeys on the Keylink blog!

A Blend of Bold and Balanced

Smooth yet intense, Oriado 60% opens with a light, balanced cocoa flavour and unfolds into notes of vanilla and hints of coconut. There’s a comforting warmth to its profile—perfectly poised between the robustness of dark chocolate and the subtle sweetness of vanilla.

While Oriado 60% was originally developed for coating, it’s perfect for making silky ganache and crémeux, but great in any application where a bold yet balanced dark chocolate taste is essential.

Organic, Fairtrade, and Unforgettably Flavourful

Oriado 60% is a dark chocolate couverture like no other. Crafted from the best organic and Fairtrade-certified cocoa beans sourced in the Dominican Republic and Peru, this chocolate is all about harmony—of flavour, ethics, and performance.

Part of Valrhona’s commitment to a sustainable cocoa future, Oriado 60% is ideal for chefs and chocolatiers looking to combine creativity with conscience. Whether you’re experimenting with truffles or crafting showstopping mousse cakes, this is a chocolate that’s as reliable as it is delicious.

Its fluidity is a dream for tempering and moulding, and its flavour plays nicely with everything from red fruits to citrus, coffee and even salt!

Valrhona and a Better Cocoa Future

Valrhona are proud holders of B Corp certification—a mark of their ongoing mission to build a fair, sustainable cocoa sector. That means traceable sourcing, strong farmer relationships, and a dedication to reducing their environmental impact.

So when you use Oriado 60%, you’re not just creating extraordinary chocolates and desserts—you’re taking part in something much bigger.
