Default Chocolates

I like chocolate, but can't stand the taste of the vegetable oils used in the majority of run of the mill chocolates.
It was a joy to have discovered Neuhaus chocolates from Belgium some 25 years ago.
Be it plain or filled, they are quite the finest I have tasted.
We used to get them from The Tea and Coffee Emporium, but since they switched to mail order only, they stopped stocking them.
If you get a chance to sample them, seize the opportunity. You won't be disappointed.

Neuhaus is awesome! And you're right, they do not have that oily taste. Have you tried Royce from Japan? I know Japan is not the first thing that comes to mind when talking chocolate, but this chocolate is also really good!

Wait up, I just answered my own question, its a product of the coca-cola company isnt it? Or is it Schwepps and Cadbury? Holy crap, I should be asking a question, not giving an answer.

Chocolate with vegetable oil is not chocolate but
a chocolate-flavored candy. Your food and drug laws need
changes to insist on the restriction of chocolate as terminology
to refer only to the product of cocoa beans. Adding the
vegetable fats is a way the producers have chosen to
cut the expense, but the consumer never has to be limited
by this. There are good chocolates prepared all over the
world but this change in the law to permit excessive
adulteration with non-cocoa fat vegetable oils was
a an enabler for low end candy makers.
It might make for interesting flavors
if oils like walnut or grape seed oil were used
in these products but most likely soy and rape
seed oil aka canola are the fats employed. All
these do is add volume and less good fats than
the cocoa mass. Just the idea of cotton seed
oil being added to chocolate makes one a bit
ill.

After fermentation, the beans are dried, then cleaned, and then roasted, and the shell is removed to produce cacao nibs. The nibs are then ground to cocoa mass, pure chocolate in rough form. Because this cocoa mass usually is liquefied then molded with or without other ingredients, it is called chocolate liquor. The liquor also may be processed into two components: cocoa solids and cocoa butter. Unsweetened baking chocolate (bitter chocolate) contains primarily cocoa solids and cocoa butter in varying proportions. Much of the chocolate consumed today is in the form of sweet chocolate, combining cocoa solids, cocoa butter or other fat, and sugar. Milk chocolate is sweet chocolate that additionally contains milk powder or condensed milk. White chocolate contains cocoa butter, sugar, and milk but no cocoa solids.
