What's up with Valrhona cocoa powder?

[BlackAmericanoNoSugar]

Everywhere in Ireland is out of stock. Have they stopped making it or are there supply issues or something?

I have ordered some Barry cocoa powder instead. I'm hoping it will be just as full flavoured.

Not that anyone is the slightest bit interested, but I ordered the Barry Pleine Arome and it's pretty good. The Valrhona has a richer flavour, but Barry is a perfectly adequate substitute and quite a lot cheaper.

Posh Dunnes has Valhrona sometimes. Usually near the Sheridan cheese counter. Haven’t heard of Barry Pleine Arome, but as a fan of Valrhona, I’ll have to check it out.

I’ve been checking posh Dunnes (which I call big Dunnes) the last time they had Valhrona cocoa in stock was before Christmas (just after I had ordered it online from Sheridans). I haven’t seen it in store since then and Sheridans website hasn’t had it in stock for weeks.

I bought the Barry cocoa from stuff4cakes online and it cost about the same for a kilo as Valrhona does for 250g. It came really quickly.
