At present 50% of the company’s chocolates in Canada came from the U.S., and the rest from Europe.
“We are able to source 100% from Europe,” Lechner told Reuters.
Lindt, whose products include Lindor chocolate balls, has already built up inventories in Canada from the U.S. to give it time to change its supply chain, which it expects to complete by the middle of the year.
Chief Financial Officer Martin Hug said it would be slightly more expensive to transport chocolate to Canada from Europe but it would cost less than if tariffs were imposed.
I would love to see more companies move in this direction. It’s not perfect, but at least they are trying, and I think that’s great.
They do make 100% dark chocolate, it tastes like you would imagine.
I love their 90% bars… I buy them by the 15 pack and need to restock them every month.
90% is good, not my favourite but I’ll have it every so often!
This. Ive eaten 100% chocolate and its extremely bitter and a very small bite is enough for a very very long time. Its the cream in milk that makes it that good…
Dead inside?
Like a used coffee puck, so yeah, basically
That’s because it’s over roasted. Too dark. It’s the same reason Starbucks uses so much milk and sugar in all their coffee drinks. Extremely dark roasted anything tastes bitter like burnt toast.
If you want more sophisticated, less bitter dark chocolate you need to get lighter roasts made from single source cacao. That’s not a product Lindt cares about offering so you end up having to get it from much smaller chocolate makers.
Or you know… Plant based milk.
It’s not really their business, most consumers ask for dairy milk in their milk chocolate.
There is some very good vegan chocolate out there that isn’t Lindt.
