Spanish Chocolate Vs British Chocolate
Spain has some wonderful food and wine but why can't they get chocolate making right?
Even British chocolate sold here doesn't taste right!:confused: |

Re: Spanish Chocolate Vs British Chocolate
I think that the chocolate here is of a much higher quality than in Uk, mainly due to the higher quantity of cocoa in it I presume.

I have to agree with others, the Spanish chocolate is far superior to the British rubbish especially Cadburys, with it´s content it just manages to scrape though to be called chocolate. The odd thing is white "chocolate", it´s cocoa solids content is so low that strictly speaking not high enough to be called chocolate.

Trouble is I can only have sin azucar now. Graham I like Lindt 70% or 74%. Trouble is, here it is often white with the cocoa butter efflorescing, and can taste very stale. |

british chocolate may be inferior in its cocoa content ( I dont know that it is, but it seems to be the consensus), but to my much abused tastebuds it tastes much better.
A big slab of Fruit and Nut, is for me, unbeatable. |

Re: Spanish Chocolate Vs British Chocolate
When I was young, bournville plain was the dog's licky bits. Now, having climbed the ladder of addiction to the 70%, anything less than 70% is sickly.
As for those with a cocoa content below Bournville plain, that is just vegolate. It doesn't merit the term chocolate. |

Trouble is I can only have sin azucar now. Graham British chocolate is mainly vegetable oils with little cocoa in. Spain has a long history of making chocolate since they brought back cocoa from the Americas hundreds of years ao - I went to the Museu de Xocolat in Barcelona :). We often buy artesan bombones for people as gifts, although tbf I've not seen many shops like that in Andalucia. Plenty up north though. |
Re: Spanish Chocolate Vs British Chocolate
Well, to my uneducated palate, I still remember the thrill of the first time I went into a newsagents in the UK and saw the array of chocolate bars...........Pocket money permitting I started at one end and worked my way along, there was not a lot like it in Spain at the time.....
It may inferior in quality, I dont know, but for we its the best. Come to think of it, in the days before BC (Brit Choc) they were mainly golosinas in Spain, not anything in the chocolate products aimed at kids like now. |
