First 100 per cent British chocolate bar in 94 years is made using UK-grown cocoa, milk and sugar
A chocolate bar made entirely from British-grown ingredients has reportedly been produced for the first time in 94 years. It matters because cocoa is ordinarily imported from tropical regions, so the development could demonstrate a new way of making chocolate closer to home.
The bar uses cocoa grown in the UK alongside British milk and sugar, according to the report. Its “100 per cent British” claim refers to the sourcing of those core ingredients, while the 94-year comparison highlights how unusual fully domestic chocolate production has been.
- UK-grown cocoa has been used in a fully British chocolate bar.
- The bar also contains British milk and sugar.
- It is described as the first such product in 94 years.
