Have you ever found yourself in the most expensive place with the most expensive chocolate? In the past decade it has become popular to eat
dark chocolate which contains higher amounts of coco because it is rich
in antioxidants and flavanols. Even though some of us will eat chocolate
for its health benefits, most of us love it because it’s delicious.
It’s not easy to resist the mass-produced and extensively advertized
candy, but those who can afford it, instead of choking down on a
Snicker’s bar will go for something sublime.
Handmade gourmet chocolates are delicacies specially
designed for adults. Chocolatiers can generally opt between mass
production and inexpensive ingredients for everyone’s taste, and
producing small quantities of luxury, expensive chocolate. Those who
chose option number 2 are the producers of some of the world’s most
expensive chocolate.
