Everytime I see someone insinuate that Valrhona is in any way "good" chocolate, I roll my eyes. If it's got soy lecithin, they're cutting corners. If they cut corners, it falls well below good in *my* unashamedly biased opinion.

I had another square of Valor Milk Chocolate tonight... 38%... with cocoa nibs. Oh, so yummy.

and the Hachez Cocoa d'Arriba with strawberry and green pepper. 77%... incredibly earthy with a very subtle tang.

Now those... THOSE are good chocolate, perhaps even superior chocolate. Now that it's chilly out, perhaps I can order some Cluizel, which I'm told is quite possibly the best chocolate available for purchase in the US.
