Hi all,

I've been trying to find out more about some types of Valrhona
chocolate, and the Web has provided me as many questions as answers.
Can anyone here provide some insight?

- Valrhona's web site indicates [1] that there are USA-specific versions
of the Guanaja, Caraibe, and Jivara 75g tasting bars. Does anyone
know what the difference is?

- There are some types of Valrhona chocolate (Superalpina, Tropilia,
Maitre Chocolatier) which I've seen mentioned on a few web sites [2],
but I can't find them on Valrhona's own site. Are these actually
types of chocolate, or are they candies? Have they been discontinued?
If not, are they any good?

- There are a couple other types (Araguani, Tanariva Lactee) which are
mentioned on Valrhona's Web site, but which I haven't found in person.
Chocosphere apparently has Araguani, but I haven't gotten around to
ordering any yet. Has anyone tried either of these?

Thanks.

Blake
