Being a chocolate foodie I have tasted chocolates form different countries and my main shopping was always chocolates whenever I went on foreign tours.
Back in India I have done online shopping for chocolates and when I came across Belgian chocolates I wasted no time in ordering for a pack. The taste of these chocolates was not anyway compared to what I had brought from Belgium. On a closer look I noticed that these chocolates were made in India Obviously even though the recipe could have been the same as also the packing the ingredients used were those from local sources.
I learnt my lesson and never more ordered for chocolates that had a foreign brand available here in India.
What has been your experience?

That is if the name is visible But where you live you will always get the best original brands

@allknowing It is mandatory for European Laws to mention the country where a product is made. I bought Lindt in Italy, it is made locally, even the ingredients are not exactly the same.

@LadyDuck When you open the Site and see products we only see the brand name but not where it is made unless one goes into detail

I have learnt my lesson Whatever Amazon in offers specially giving names of foreign brands I will not go for them again.

As for me, it is difficult to try new things out. I prefer the original.
