Any story about chocolate being made is a good story in my books.
Depending on how deep in the supply chains one looks, I doubt the 100% British claim. I, Pencil from 1958 eloquently describes how the supply chain to create even the most humblest of things is more complex than one might think.
According to the article, this was literally grown in the University of Reading's International Cocoa Quarantine Centre, where they have 300 different types of cocoa plants, and then it was prepared pretty much solely by a student.
Not sure how "commercially viable" their supply is, but maybe the paper details that possibility. Or maybe the BBC article is just fluff.
The cocoa is probably a notable item, since it probably doesn't make a lot of sense to do cultivation of commercial cocoa in the UK.
But the problem is that even if each of the ingredients for the bar (excluding the wrapper) was sourced domestically, the inputs themselves have inputs. I would be very surprised if all of those originate in the UK.
doubt it. the carbon in there was most likely forged in a distant star millions of years ago, and not in england
