Has New Zealand got the best chocolate in the world?

Who would you think has the best chocolate in the world? New Zealand has great chocolate especially in the cottage gourmet food industry. We have access to great dairy products from free ranging dairy cows, and have an emerging organic supply of dairy and other foods emerging. New Zealanders are also firm believers in high quality food, and tend to heartily spoil ourselves with food and treats. Of course the picture is not all rosy and we do have levels of poverty here, but I think chocolate is something we do really well. What do you think?

I don't really know never been there but would love to go but I do know that one day I was at the store and the man behind me said have you ever tried one of those white chocolates from Europe? I said no and I bought a couple and I am addictied to them now! They are so yummy!

I like most all chocolates except for the dark chocolates those I do not like.

I do like Swiss chocolate but not as much as our own. Sadly some of our bigger labels have been sold to other countries and changed the recipe and supply. Thank you for your reply.

Dear friend, I am Italian, so how do you know Europe has "a heart of chocolate called Switzerland". Frankly I can not give an opinion on chocolate from New Zealand, as it does not have the ever tasted, but the way you describe how it is produced, I believe that it is of excellent quality.

I do not believe I have had the privilege of trying any chocolate from New Zealand. I will believe you though, when you say that you like to spoil yourselves with top quality foods.

I never heard before, that New Zealand have the best chocolate... But I think Belgium have the best chocolate, And USA... Even tho the raw material (cocoa beans) is imported from my country too, Indonesia.
