Okay so if Lindt is really as crap as /ck/ claims, what are some better, but still relatively easy to find, chocolate brands?

There are none. The fags that shit on Lindt probably think Hershey’s shit is good.

Ok. Pay the same price for less chocolate. But in all seriousness, I've found that there is a huge difference in what the different brands do with the remaning non-cacao percentage points. Some use it up on more cocoa butter (nice), some use it on more sugar (not so nice, as it makes the bar chalky). Oddly enough, sometimes the higher percentage cacao bars of the same brand are less chalky than the lower percentage ones. I stand by my recommendations. The 70% Sharffen Berger is nice. There's also a 70% one from Trader Joe's you might like. Fruity vanilla flavor. I don't care for most of the other brands at the grocery stores with all the eco-friendly packaging. They tend to be poorly conched, gritty.

Well it's actually simple. European regulations, which are the only ones that count on the matter and define about all chocolate products sold in western countries, dictate the amount of "chocolate" needed to qualify as such, that is, >43% "chocolate". But "chocolate" could be cocoa powder, or butter, and then it should have no less than 26% butter, and no less than 14% powder.

Don't think manufacturers will favor one over the other, you can find 60% butter, 20% powder bars, as well as 20% butter, 60% powder bars, for roughly the same prices. The "rest", non-"chocolate" part, must be <40% of total weight, that includes sugar, palm oil, powdered milk, salt, aroma, soy lecithin... don't think you can estimate the amount of "sugar" either, cocoa powder contains carbs, so anything listed as "sugar" may not be added sugar.

For the truest chocolate, I'd recommend looking for a high amount of fat, a direct indicator of how much butter was used, the absence of added vegetable oils, and a high percentage of chocolate (>70%), leaving little room for non-chocolate additives such as sugar, and a low amount of overall carbs.

Or just find a bean-to-bar chocolate maker and get real chocolate. Otherwise Lindt 90% is fine to me, but then I hear most murricans eat shit.

Dark chocolate is inferior to milk chocolate and I like extremely bitter things, milk chocolate is just better.

[Anonymous No.11796833]

Vivani anyone?. They have a "dark milk chocolate" which is fucking awesome. A little creamy, a little sweet, very chocolatey. Like an espresso with a dollop of crem and a teaspoon of sugar.

Most American brands put butyric acid in their chocolate to imitate Hershey's. It's what makes parmesan and vomit smell like vomit.
Avoid American brands.
I used to get Dove before I stopped eating chocolate.

From my experience, anything you can get from a supermarket's own brand is better than Lindt (at least in Germany).
Pic related is 0.79€ and vastly superior in taste.

Tried it. It's like eating cocoa powder in chocolate bar form. Mostly bitter.

[Anonymous No.11798197]

Who says lindt is bad? I enjoy lindt quite a bit, their truffles are pretty good too IMO. And their chocolate is good for all kinds of cooking and baking.

I used to go to a really nice import chocolate store but they shut down after a while (probably didn't make enough money sadly). They had the best chocolates I've ever had, but lindt isn't bad.

For me personally, it's Lindt white chocolate.

I actually switched back to lindt 70% from a more expensive brand because it tastes better.
I've had plenty better than that, but for "buy once in a while" prices.

99% sucks. It's some kind of firm jelly in a thin sheet.

If you want to blow your own mind, eat a square of unsweetened baking chocolate before eating lindt 90%. The baking chocolate will taste like dry ass, but it will make you amazingly receptive to the slightest hint of sweetness in chocolate. Only instead of needing sugar, it can be more cocoa and the flavor is explosive.

Other chocolate I like is nestle toll house, but it's only chocolate chips for baking.

This. Probably the best quality supermarket chocolate for the price (good for desserts). I've heard Green & Black's Organic and Endangered Species are also good.

I recently came across this line of "American Heritage Chocolate" produced by Mars. Supposedly, it's a recreation of how chocolate was made back in the day. Shit's pretty good. You can order off of Amazon or, if you're near a seller (sadly, it's only on the US East Coast, from what I've seen), they will probably have more products. Sadly, Amazon doesn't seem to have those chocolate sticks that I ate one time in Colonial Williamsburg, so that's a downer.

Yep, Zotter is awesome - huge variety, also some really crazy flavors. They do deliver outside the EU but only to certain countries. Just check their online shop.
