Hi there!
The reason why he only uses Valrhona is because Valhrona owns part of the La Maison du Chocolat. Actually Polenghi (dairy products) is the big owner of them all!
I learned this while purschasing Valrhona chocolat for my cuisine.
Also, Valrhona makes several items for La Maison (chocolate bars, etc)
Love ur blog!

Like a mad woman I decided that I’m handmaking all of the treats for my family’s stockings this year. I made these last night and they turned out delicious! I did have a bit of trouble keeping the melted chocolate smooth and melty and had to reheat a couple times, but I suspect I was working too slowly and being too careful. After it got to be 12:30 on a week night, I started rolling the chocolates with greater abandon and they still turned out great.

Arissa — Whole Foods and other stores sell some of them. You can also check out the New York Cake and Baking Supply shop on 22nd for bulk chocolate.

I was wondering where I could get these gourmet chocolate, like the Valhrona or Scharffen Berger. I know online sites but just the shipping kills any deal on these pricey chocolates… I live near NYC, so I can always stop there. I am sure I could find them in the city, no?

Deb! With the help of your website, I’ve slowly but surely become a good cook. Now with your help, I’ve conquered truffles, which I’d never have had the cajones to do otherwise. THANK YOU!

I wish I had found this article before Xmas. It would have been a great addition to lunch. I guess I’ll just have to make them as a new year treat.

I made a batch of these for Christmas gifts. I work at Sur La Table, and we sell kilos of Valhrona, which are actually damn affordable after my discount. They turned out really awesome. Really awesome. I want to keep them for myself. I only got about 40 from my batch though so I only got to keep a couple of them.
