    Huh? Some of the best chocolate is Ghirardelli which is American.

    Maybe you just don’t understand American chocolate.

      It’s a Swiss-owned company originally founded by an Italian in… barely the US. Two years after California joined the union.

      A kilo for forty bucks. Are you kidding me. That’s way too cheap to be good cocoa, actually good chocolate costs 150-200 per kg.

      milk fat, vanilla extract, natural flavor, soy lecithin.

      …it gets worse and worse. You want to see none of those in good chocolate. But at least Lindt checks out as an owner they upcharge you for the gold paint on the packaging and also use cheap cocoa.

      Go to Aldi. Buy Moser-Roth. Same quality, priced sensibly. Or treat yourself and buy something from Domori.
