word of warning, check if it's made in the UK. They use different milk and the chocolate isn't as nice

Check out the picture, it has the "Love Irish Food" logo. If this is a photo the OP is ok. I agree 100% with you though, massive difference in the chocolate.

Interesting, never knew this, I presumed each bar was made in a specific factory either here or UK. Most I have seen give 2 addresses on them, Ireland and UK, do they actually state where they were made?

The Cadbury bars with the green heart "Love Irish Food" logo as pictured above are made here.

These are probably the last of the real 'Irish' ones, hence the best before date.

The ones now made in Ireland contain English mass, so now the Irish ones taste as bad as the English ones.

The new 'Irish' bars now look like this:

They HAVE changed the recipe.

They now use English produced cocoa butter imported to Ireland and English mass.

They closed the facility in Coolock.

I'm not sure when the "English" chocolate will hit the retail shelves here,but sometime soon.

Even the English said our Dairymilk tasted much better then theirs.

I think Cadburys may have shot themselves in the foot,although in the grand scheme of things we are only a small market.

Mass is whats produced after compressing the cocoa beans,you get cake and cocoa butter.

The cake is milled down and and mixed with cocoa butter to get a liquid mass which is mixed with milk and sugar and put into huge ovens to get "crumb".

This crumb is then whats used to make chocolate.this is what made the chocolate made in Ireland unique.

They closed this facility in the Cadburys Dublin factory in June,its all being imported from England now,which will make our Dairymilk etc taste like the English chocolate.

They have a different process.

Never knew that. If they know the Irish way tastes better why don't the English just produce it with the Irish receipe.

It's the milk. Irish cows eat mostly grass, British cows eat mostly "nuts" of animal food. Gives a completely different taste.
