Chocolate Today

The role that chocolate plays in our everyday lives is surprisingly significant - from what chocolate we eat the most to what the differences are and the scale of chocolate sales.

There are 2 distinct categories of chocolate for consumers:
fine chocolate & the more general household brands

Real vanilla is only used in fine chocolate.

Household brands generally don't contain real vanilla but vanillin which is often referred to as artificial vanilla.

The chocolate that most people eat today contains cocoa butter.

Global sales of chocolate show that milk chocolate is currently the best selling type.
