Tony's Chocolonely bars are shaped unevenly to represent farmer inequality and the coastline of Africa
(lemmy.world)
"It doesn’t make sense for chocolate bars to be divided into equal-sized chunks when there is so much inequality in the chocolate industry! The unequally-sized chunks of our 6.35 oz bars are a palatable way of reminding Choco Fans and Serious Friends that the profits in the chocolate industry are unequally divided.
And in case you haven’t noticed, the bottom of our bars depicts the West African coastline. The chunks just above it represent the Gulf of Guinea. From left to right, you have Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Togo and Benin (terribly politically incorrect, we know, but we had to combine them to create enough space for a hazelnut), Nigeria and part of Cameroon."
The chocolate I buy is probably boutique level in comparison usually costing around 6-8€ and usually 50-100g per bar.
I am mostly getting those from local coffee or spice specialty shops.
But I am rarely buying those and usually only eating one segment per day.
My brands/product if I crave for chocolate:
Zotter: "Amalfi Zitrone + Salbeimarzipan" (tl. Amalfi Lemon + sage marzipan), Yuzu Citrus
-> I can really recommend the lemon + sage marzipan one. Very tasty. If you can afford (to import it or buy it locally), do it. Looks like this: https://www.zotter.at/online-shop/marken/handgeschoepft/amalfizitrone-salbeimarzipan
Lindt: 100% + Cacao fruit
Ritter: Sport Cacao y nada (I think only limited :/) or El Cacao 40% -> Optionally: Something like Die Kräftige 74% but I am not very fond others. Same with Lindt.
Some stuff I got on vacation but could probably find somewhere: Cluizel Paris: La Laguna 47% or Guatamala 70%
Miscellaneous: Fenkart Venezuela 75%, Cachet Raspberry 57%, Dolfin Ginger & Lemon
