Why German chocolate is better than British chocolate, according to a guy who tastes it for a living

Business Insider spoke with Angus Kennedy, editor of Kennedy's Confection magazine, about which country makes the best chocolate.

Following is a transcript of the video:

Angus Kennedy: I think it’s all a matter of taste.

Everybody will have their own favourite chocolate.

I actually quite like trying different – I love champagne truffles, they make some very good ones here in the UK but they also make some excellent ones in France and Germany.

But I think generally speaking, if you wanted to have generally good quality, Germany, places like that are very good places to go shopping because they’re very health conscious.

In fact, the Germans are one of the highest health conscious nations in Europe, so if you wanted to consistently put good quality chocolate in your shopping basket, you’re probably better off in Germany than you are in the UK.

Our chocolate has actually – the sugar content I believe over the last twenty years has increased so they’re much sweeter than they used to be.

Good quality chocolate you can buy everywhere but I think it’s harder to find if you go to the average express supermarket like the one down the road, I found it very difficult.

I couldn’t actually find any 70% cocoa chocolate here. So that was interesting.
