Why is Felchlin so cheap?
Posted in: Opinion
Exactly. Why is Valrhona's Manjari so expensive when it's not even a great example of Madagascan chocolate (at least not at that price level)? I currently live in Dubai and Valrhona's prices are ridiculous in that they are out of sync with their quality . Felchlin's Maracaibo 65% is superior to Manjari yet considerably cheaper. The phrase "Grand Cru" in the chocolate industry more often than not is weasel-speak for I'll-give-this-slightly-better-than-average-chocolate-bar-a-fancy-schmancy-sounding-appellation-cum-classification-and-take-the-consumer-all-the-way-to-the-cleaners-(laughing heartily as I do so)!
