About Chocablog
Chocablog is a blog dedicated to the world of chocolate. For over five years, we’ve been regularly publishing unbiased chocolate reviews, delicious chocolate recipes, and in-depth features and reports from all over the world.
Started in March 2006 by Dom Ramsey with help from a team of writers in the UK, Australia, United States and Canada, if something’s going on in the world of chocolate, we’ll be the first to know about it.

Review Policy
The products you see reviewed on Chocablog are a mixture of chocolate we’ve purchased ourselves and review samples sent to us by chocolate companies and their public relations representatives.
No matter what the source, we always endeavour to publish completely unbiased reviews and never accept payment for any content published on the site. If we don’t like something, we’ll say so, whether we’ve spent our own money on it or not.
If you represent a chocolate company and you’d like to send samples of your products for review, you’re more than welcome to do so – just use this form to get in touch – but please be aware that we do say what we think about everything we review, good or bad.
If you don’t think our review was accurate, we always encourage feedback and discussion. Just leave a comment on the review with your own opinion. In the interests of openness though, please do disclose if you represent the company in question. Failure to do so may result in us disclosing it for you.

Affiliate Links
On occasion, we make use of ‘affiliate’ links on the site. These are usually links to online stores that stock a particular type of chocolate, and Chocablog receives a small payment if a visitor makes a purchase as a result of clicking that link.
Affiliate links provide a small amount of revenue that helps to cover our the running costs of the site. Where we do use these links, we try to do so outside the context of the main review, and always mark them as affiliate links. In most cases, Chocablog writers do not know if or when affiliate links will be used in conjunction with their articles, and the never affect the content of our reviews.
