This is my favourite dark chocolate anywhere in the world, and I always stock up when I’m passing through the UK. It demolishes the horribly sour over hyped Lindt. The only other bar chocolate that comes close is Alprose 74%, but M&S has a slight edge.

It really is a wonderful chocolate – I would love to know how manufactures it.

This is my all time favourite dark chocolate and I just had to defend it! I’d say that resembles Lindt far more closely than G & B’s, which has a more bitter flavour. My husband (not a choco!) can tell them apart with no problem. I buy it now in preference to Lindt, as the M&S version does not contain milk, which suits my dairy free diet, and I actually prefer it. It DOES state on the packaging ‘Made in Switzerland’. I advise you to try it!

I agree, it does seem to look more like a Lindt bar. I’m a huge fan of Lindt, sort of a fall back chocolate when I don’t have anything else – not because it’s lesser, just because it’s easier to get. Odd how a company would charge more for their copy than the original, especially with no origin listed. I’m surprised people buy it…but hey, you did!

Yes, from the shape does look more like one of the Lindt offerings, but the flavour isn’t as “complex” as a Lindt Excellence (although I don’t have any on hand to compare it directly).

Hmmm – I kind of get more of a Lindt vibe from just looking at it (not tried it yet). How does it compare to the Lindt 70% Excellence bar? (one of my favourite dark’s).
