How We Test Chocolate

Flavour, freshness, texture, and presentation are the pillars of our chocolate testing process.

1. Flavor: The growing conditions of the cacao used to make any given chocolate impact its flavour, which can range from sweet and fruity to nutty and toasty. We looked for balanced, prominent cocoa notes with no off-flavours. Chocolate that has gone bad or rancid will have a soapy or cheesy flavour.
2. Freshness: To avoid sacrificing taste, presentation, and overall quality, it is best to consume chocolates within a few days of purchase. If that is not possible, you can store your chocolates in the refrigerator for up to a month. When storing your chocolates, make sure to place them in an airtight container.
3. Texture: We considered the texture of all the chocolates. Correctly tempered and stored chocolate shouldn’t melt in your fingers; it should be firm and “snap” when broken or bitten into and melt smoothly on the tongue.
4. Packaging and Presentation: First and foremost, we looked for packaging that protects the chocolates it contains. Different art and decor appeal to different preferences and purposes, but no one wants broken or smashed confections. After that, we also considered how the packaging and presentation contributed to the overall impact of the chocolates, considering many give chocolates as gifts for special occasions.

In the delightful realm of chocolates, these criteria guide us to discover and present the finest selections that elevate your chocolate experience to new heights. Now you know about the 13 best chocolate in India, Embrace the decadence, savour the moments, and let the world of chocolate captivate your senses.
