PRODUCED CHOCOLATE

The principle ingredient of commercial mass produced chocolate is not chocolate or cocoa, (the average cocoa content is generally less than 20% by volume and can be as low as 7%), but sugar, saturated and vegetable fats, powdered milk and sundry other additives, many of them artificial. These are the dietary villains responsible for chocolate's undeserved reputation as being fattening, tooth-decaying and generally unhealthy.

But all's not doom and gloom, we are becoming more discerning in our tastes, with demand for high quality, high cocoa content chocolate products increasing year on year. Real chocolate, containing at least 60% cocoa solids and just a fraction of the sugar of the typical mass produced "brand name" product, is much healthier by far Aphrodite chocolates are made from only the finest quality Couverture:

• 70%+ cocoa solids for plain chocolate
• 30%+ for Milk Chocolate
• 30%+ for White Chocolate and finest natural ingredients with little or no added sugar.
