Title: Dutch chocolate

Anyone a fan of Dutch chocolate here?

I especially like Verkade, which is the national brand in The Netherlands.

I don't think I've ever had an opportunity to try Dutch chocolate. Does it have any distinctive characteristics?

Tesco Value plain chocolate used to be sourced from the Netherlands and it was very good.  (It was not overpowering but would break with a snap.)  They then switched to a UK manufacturer and an inferior product with far too much soya lecithin.

So you may have experienced Dutch chocolate without realising it!
