This year, I had the privilege of creating a cake for the 40th anniversary of Valrhona’s iconic Guanaja 70% Dark Chocolate.

For four decades, Guanaja has been setting the benchmark for intense, complex dark chocolate, inspiring pastry chefs across the globe. To be invited to contribute to this worldwide celebration is both an honour and a moment of genuine gratitude.

Thank you, Valrhona, for the opportunity. I am incredibly thankful to be part of this milestone and to celebrate a chocolate that continues to shape our industry.

Happy Anniversary - 40 years of Guanaja.

Had some time to bake at home..
Homebaked sourdough represents the culmination of time, skill, and attention to detail. From cultivating a strong starter to ensuring optimal hydration, every element and ingredient (flour, water, salt) plays a part in crafting a loaf with perfect crumb structure and deep, complex flavors. The balance of a crackling crust and tender interior is what defines great artisan bread.

20+ Years of Pastry. One new chapter.

After two decades dedicated to pastry and bakery I’m excited to take on a new challenge as Executive Sous Chef at Bürgenstock Resort.

Moving from pastry into a broader culinary leadership role is both a challenge and an opportunity — to learn, to contribute, and to continue growing alongside an exceptional team.

Proud to be working alongside Culinary Director Mike Wehrle and Martin Stein, and grateful for the opportunity to continue developing, creating and leading in such a remarkable place.

From pastry to the wider kitchen — New environment. New responsibilities. Same passion. 🇨🇭

For Guanaja’s 40th anniversary, Daniel Texter has crafted an entremets where every layer reveals a new expression of chocolate. 🍫
Guanaja financier, crunchy roasted sourdough bread crumble, Guanaja Namelaka and Oabika with delicate fruity notes, Guanaja mousse and dark chocolate mirror glaze… A succession of textures and flavors designed to preserve the balance of the creation, letting Guanaja’s character take center stage.
An interpretation built on precision, where every element enhances the chocolate without ever overpowering it. ✨

Daniel Texter, Executive Pastry Chef, looks back on his first memories of Guanaja, a chocolate that has been part of his journey since the very beginning of his career and that he considers one of the true pioneers of modern chocolate. 🍫
For the Chef, Guanaja stands out for its balance, subtlety and intensity, allowing the true expression of cocoa to take center stage rather than sweetness. A vision that continues to resonate with evolving consumer expectations and the future of pastry.
In this interview, Daniel Texter also shares his vision for the future of chocolate: one driven by sustainability, where the quality of the beans and the authentic taste of cocoa are more important than ever. ✨

A delicate composition of our signature Mandarin Oriental Tea Blend, paired with the elegant sweetness of Japanese white peach.

Finished with a velvety texture, refined citrus notes and a clean, lingering finish, designed to celebrate subtlety rather than sweetness.

Thai Mango Carpaccio • Coconut Panna Cotta • Pink Pepper • Kaffir Lime Ice Cream

SUMMER...
The beauty of tropical ingredients lies in their balance.

Sweet Thai mango, silky coconut panna cotta, the floral heat of pink pepper, and the bright citrus perfume of kaffir lime come together in a dessert designed around freshness, texture, and restraint.

Every component has a purpose. Nothing more. Nothing less.

What ingredient defines summer for you?
