Cote d’Or Chocolate—the whole brand
Belgian Chocolate

Cote d’Or is somewhat of a pricier, everyday chocolate, especially for foreign audiences. When I had it, though, it was in Belgium, where chocolate is taken so seriously that Cote d’Or is simply frowned upon as a candy bar, whereas for Americans it might seem pushing towards the gourmet.

I tried about 6 or 7 flavors from Cote d’Or, but none of them struck me as anything special, so I’m going to write a quick overall review.

Generally, Cote d’Or bars are far too sweet. They suffer from what I call “candy-bar syndrome,” the sweetness that producers add into mass produced bars to give them that sugar rush that so many people are used to in candy bars. While Cote d’Or is praised as a higher quality of mass-produced bar, it tastes just like nestle to me. To be fair, its dark chocolate flavors are decent, since the bitterness of the dark chocolate helps to balance out the sweetness.

Recommended bars: Truffe noir; Fondant Pure, Dark Chocolate

Overall Score: 0.0/5.0
