IMPORTANT!

Do you know that the chocolate that we're eating might not be classified as "real" chocolate?

The standard bar of milk choccolate should contain at least 25% of dry cocoa solids and a fine one should have at least 30%.

The standard bar of dark chocolate should contain at least 35% of dry cocoa solids and a fine one should have at least 45%.

Check the amount next time before you bite into your favourite chocolate!

Another thing to note- Check the ingredients and see if the chocolate contains Vanilla or Vanillin.

Vanillin is a cheap subsitute for vanilla and its not natural. Avoid taking chocolate that contains vegetable oil instead of cocoa butter too.

Remember, chocolate isnt just chocolate.Every chocolate experience is different and exiting, with bursts of flavour of every kind.

Quality chocolate should NOT smell of vanilla

For a fulfiling chocolate experience, i reccomend Valrhona!:)
