In April 2016, the semifinal by geographical areas will be held in Paris, providing access to the final of the prestigious competition C3 Valrhona, a final to be held in October in New York within the framework of the StarChefs International Congress.

The candidates participating in the Paris preliminary must send a proposal for an original and creative plated dessert recipe and a molded bonbon on the theme “Illanka grand cru du Peru” using the dark chocolate couverture from the range Grand Cru de Terroir de Valrhona Illanka 63%. We will keep you informed as candidates selected to participate in this geographical final are revealed.
