The Best Dark Chocolate Bar
Posted by Chocoholic on August 31st, 2008
Where does a person buy the best dark chocolate bar? First let us determine what is the best one to buy. We can talk of the most familiar brands such as Hershey, Godiva, or Dove. Or, we can look into those areas beyond out borders where dark chocolate is more than a side grocery store stock item, but a craft. Examples of such places are in Belgium, South America, and some of the off shore Islands.
In the Belgian Chocolate Factory you can get dark chocolates made fresh everyday. In the Belgian chocolate factories that I have seen show three main chocolate types, Milk, Dark, and White chocolate. Dark chocolate is my favorite. Popular, but exquisite manufacturers are Ghirardelli Chocolate, Almedei, Amore, Prestat, Zchocolat.
Hershey’s Dark Chocolate Bar
You have most likely seen some of the Hershey’s chocolate products when you are shopping in stores, but if you go right to the source you will have the largest, most comprehensive selection available to you. Hershey’s is one of the top names when it comes to chocolate, and whether you are looking for a dark chocolate bar or any other sort, you are going to have some great options if you deal with them.
One of the best things about Hershey’s is that they are always willing to offer nutrition information for each of their products, because whether you are looking for a dark chocolate bar or other candy, they want to make sure that you are aware of both the bad and good in their product.
Ghirardelli Chocolate Bars
With its heart in San Francisco bay, Ghirardelli Chocolate Factory brings over 150 years of the finest quality of manufactured chocolate. It is a huge factory of which my wife and I were privileged to see. They have mastered the art of taking only the finest of the cacoa bean and bringing it to perfection within their various chocolate selections.
The Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Bar is made of of perfectly roasted cacoa beans blended with cocoa butter and natural vanilla. It is with their pure high quality process and historical integrity that makes them one of the top leaders in the chocolate making industry. Two of their incrediblely intense dark chocolate bars is Espresso Escape and mint Bliss. Another sample of their dark chocolate is the Dark Chocolate Lava Cakes.
