Oooh so many and chocolate from different regions is mixed to make the taste of each brand except for special case where a chocolate is made from one variety from one region. Which one is the most popular kind; the light chocolat or the dark chocolate? Milk chocolate is definitely the most popular type of chocolate, with Cadbury being the most popular brand followed by Mars and Nestle. I love chocolate and milk chocolate is the best!!! I am glad to read that you like chocolate candy but that is what you are talking about. Popularity is not a good guide to the best of chocolate and until you have tasted a wide variety of the chocolate available you have little idea of what you like besides sweet and chocolate. You might find that eventually you prefer barely sweetened bitter-sweet chocolate. True. Like I prefer red miso to the wimpy white miso. :-) (miso::chocolate is one of my favorite analogies.) And it does vary by manufacturer. One mfr's bittersweet may taste more bitter, while another mfr's bittersweet does not. But until you have tried it and other forms of chocolate you don't have adequate standards for comparison. That may take you some time. My favorite dark chocolate is from Guittard. Dove Dark uses Cocoapro, which is twice as beneficial as other types, according to a Prevention Magazine article (available online). I remember the many years when Hershey bars and kisses dominated my experience of chocolate. Then I got lucky and found out that I shouldn't have anything to do with cows milk. I had to eat non-milk chocolate or go without chocolate. I rapidly found Hershey had wasted a lot of my time. I even got to the point where I could eat completely un-sweetened chocolate for the chocolate. But I prefer a nice 70% bar these day with the occasional excursion into little Sharfen-Berger niblet bars where you can grind the cocoa niblets between your teeth. That is chocolate. Mmmm... their mocha niblet bars are to die for. Wowza! -boo |
