Are you wondering what World Chocolate Day is? Well, it is a festivity designed to delight your tastebuds. With at least 8 million Brits enjoying chocolate daily, it’s no surprise this sweet treat gets its own dedicated day. Discover the history behind the festival and how to celebrate it in this article from Venchi. Most popular types of chocolate The most popular types of chocolate are still the classics milk, dark and white. For the sweet tooths, creamy milk chocolate is often the best choice and the type with the widest appeal. Embrace all the intensity of cocoa with dark chocolate, which has a devoted fan base. This aromatic treat needs to contain at least 75% cocoa and is packed with antioxidants. White chocolate is the creamiest and sweetest variety that is perfect as an after-dinner snack because it doesn’t have any caffeine. Once you’ve tried the originals, surprise your tastebuds with flavoured chocolates. These invite you on a journey of different tastes, textures and colours that push the boundaries of what is possible and expected in the chocolate realm. Sorry if you get hungry! Nuts and chocolate are a delicious combination, bursting with contrasts between crunchy and creamy, sweet and nutty. Pistachios put a luxurious twist on this pairing and taste like Italy with every bite. Alcoholic chocolates are another popular pairing, with just a hint of cheekiness. Treat yourself with Venchi’s dark chocolate and rum delights that will make any day that much sweeter. The bitterness of the dark chocolate is perfectly balanced with the warmth of the rum.
