Tesco Value Plain Chocolate
February 7, 2011
Tesco stores are located all over London, England. When I visited my sister living there, we did a lot of chocolate shopping. Almost every store I shopped in offered a label of chocolate all their own. These chocolates were priced lower than the name brands sitting next to them on the shelf.
As promised in last Monday’s blog (I reviewed store brand Roundy’s Milk Chocolate), I am going to continue to review store brand chocolates.
In the U. K., you will see Plain Chocolate on the label to differentiate it from Milk Chocolate. In the U.S., Dark Chocolate replaces Plain Chocolate.
The Tesco Value Plain Chocolate is a 50% dark chocolate and that surprised me. I thought the “value” would indicate that they used the minimum amount of chocolate required so 50% was higher than I expected. Instead, the “value” emphasizes the low price.
The texture was slightly gritty. The flavor was somewhat bland but produced a balanced chocolaty taste throughout. No outstanding flavor notes to talk about, and there was no aftertaste.
Overall, the chocolate was mediocre; not a really good chocolate, but certainly better than no chocolate at all. 🙂
