One of my biggest surprises whilst reviewing chocolate was how good the incredibly cheap J.D. Gross chocolate is. For less than £1 you can have a very nice bar of dark chocolate and not get that sickly feeling that many bars at this price range offer. What I didn’t actually know is that it’s Lidl that make the chocolate and just use the J.D. Gross KÖNIGLICHER HOFLIEFERANT trademark!

So the next time you’re passing a Lidl store and think you’ll never find any decent chocolate in there, just have a little look and get yourself a couple of bars and try them out. For £2 its worth a try. Of course they don’t compare to Amedei, Pralus or Valrhona, but they are definitely worth trying!

This J.D. Gross Premium Cocoa Dark Chocolate From Ecuador may have only been 99p from Lidl, but it was excellent value.
