Default Irish Cadburys Is Nicer

I have always bought Cadburys milk chocolate wrapped in foil and paper rather than sealed in plastic. It just tastes better. To my surprise I discovered there was a reason why; it's Irish.

Now that Kraft have bought Cadbury, its Irish opertion may not continue.

the Irish Cadbury's milk chocolate is quite different and, according to many, far superior in flavour to the British recipe

all crunchhies and flakes are made in Ireland too.

So, a little tip to chocolate lovers: next time you're in Ireland, buy the milk chocolate bar in the gold foil and paper wrapper.

Cadbury's British consumers are generally not aware that their Flake or Twirl is made in the Republic of Ireland - though many of them may notice that these, and certain of the other Cadbury lines, taste better than others... which, of course, they do!

should Cadbury Ireland be headed for extinction: its unique milk chocolate, the jewel in the Cadbury crown, the basis of the best and most creative of the company's great, historic chocolate bars.

I can't understand why Cadbury UK go with their inferior chocolate. It's just too sweet.

Far far nicer. Try it if you get the chance. It has the addressof the Dublin factory on it, not the Birmingham one.

lol how funny the paper and foil wrapper was ditched as unhygenic in the uk and most of europe quite a few years ago the chocolate comes from the same factorys they just switch wrapper styles on production runs according to which european country it is destined for the foil/paper style wrapper is cheaper to produce than the plastic wrapper trust me i worked for them for 8 years all the E.U produce is the same
The american produce is a different recipe and one that is produced just for the american market and i agree that is horrid.

Totally ignorant again there BOb. You didn't even bother to read the article my information is sourced from.

Milk chocolate made in Birmingham is too sweet, it just doesn't compare to the stuff made in Dublin.

The Irish recipe tastes less sweet, feels less dry and chalky - and less greasy - and it doesn't have the same caramel overtones of the British formulation. I prefer its apparent higher-roast cocoa bean flavour, it's crisp, nutty, creamy, distinctive taste, the genius and subtlety of its blend, and I'm sure I'm not alone. Though both types have what Americans call a 'barnyard(y)' flavour and both are slightly grainy in texture, I think British Cadbury's has a slightly 'chemical' taste, which is why I don't enjoy Buttons or UK Cadbury easter eggs, for example.

Btw, both British and Irish Cadbury are sold here side by side. You wouldn't touch the British bar if you're fond of chocolate.

Wrt to foil and hygiene it is a problem, there's no doubt.

the Irish Cadbury's milk chocolate is quite different and, according to many, far superior in flavour to the British recipe. That's the rub! The company doesn't like to refer to this difference and in fact has done a good job concealing the fact. What's more, product lines made with either of the company's two chocolate formulas, the Irish and the British, sell side-by-side in both Britain and Ireland.

Sell side by side in Britain. Buy one of each and do a taste test.
