This is why American chocolate tastes so revolting

EVER wondered why British chocolate tastes better than the sweet treats that you can buy in the US?

Those who have travelled over to the States may have noticed that the taste of their chocolate bars is a little different.

The main reason that Hershey’s has a unique taste is because of the milk that the American manufacturer uses.

When Milton Hershey first began producing chocolate, he noticed that the dairy product he was using had curdled slightly.

Instead of wasting the sour milk, he decided to dehydrate it and continue with production.

After buyers fell in love with this unconventional recipe, Hershey decided to keep the product as it was.

Nowadays, the company have ditched the sour milk in favour of butyric acid, which gives the bars a similar taste.

A recent video from Bloomberg revealed that while the main ingredient in Cadbury’s milk chocolate is milk, in the US the primary component is sugar.

The official Cadbury’s website boasts that their Dairy Milk bars contain: "a glass and a half of milk in every half pound bar of chocolate”.

This may be with the British chocolate company produces creamier tasting products.

As well as there being changes in the milk and sugar content, there is also more cocoa in Cadbury’s options.

Foodies may have also noticed that Cadbury tastes a little different if purchased in the US, which is probably because the stateside recipe has been tweaked slightly.
