Many unaware consumers are captivated by these claims, and associate specific countries to the quality of the chocolate when the country itself is by no means an indication of quality.
To counteract such misleading actions, craft chocolate makers are fighting back with new claims: Single Estate and Single Variety.

These new specifications could help craft chocolate take a further step away from mass-produced chocolate in the mind of consumers.
