    Your point being? This community isn‘t about exclusively promoting products that don’t have any ingredients from outside of Europe.

      Calm down. I’m just telling that the terminology “European Chocolate” for the product that is made from 80-90% of non-european resources and done in an extremely trivial way (so it isn’t even classical “your primitive resouses can be only useful after applying of our marvelous technology”) is… well, funny.

      No I don’t say that it is an offtop, or incorrect or anything. Just funny. At least for me.

        I see what you mean, but your belief that making chocolate from cocoa is „extremely trivial“ is simply wrong. For example, conching was invented in Europe and without it, chocolate would taste and feel totally different. The process is so important and difficult to get right, it often makes the biggest difference in chocolate quality to this day.

          That is a mixer. Not really a rocket science. (I can prove my point: chocolate is produced in every country that actually wanted that. “Non-trivial” technologies are less widespread)
