Was in a Cadbury factory in New Zealand, got given free chocolate at the end of the tour! The whole place smelled of pure chocolate. :)

Just to add some useless information (from the New Zealand Institute of Food Science and Technology) :


Ever wonder why the same brand of chocolate bar tastes different in another country?

Surprising as it may sound there is a different flavour profile for each chocolate bar in each country. Even the recipe for the chocolate ‘crumb’ (chocolate base) varies from country to country.

All chocolate that will be used to make chocolate bars and novelties for Cadbury in New Zealand are produced at the Cadbury factory in Dunedin.

Crumb for Australian consumption is also produced in Dunedin due to the enormous quantities of milk needed in ‘milk chocolate’ (50,000 litres of milk a day is used by this plant alone).
