> For All Things, the big challenge is handling temperamental chocolate in India’s hot and humid climate. Besides the risk of the chocolate melting on delivery, moisture can also compromise its quality, meaning that the company has to maintain just the right temperature in its kitchen. But on particularly humid days, especially during the monsoon season, production simply has to stop.
One thing I have noticed is that Cadbury in the UK is different from Cadbury in other Countries. I suspect they alter their recipes for the target climate - Cadbury in the UK melts if you look at it the wrong way, whereas Cadbury in Australia/NZ tends to do better in heat. Also they tend to have factories closer to their target destinations and they seem to have some trouble exactly replicating the conditions - perhaps background temperature, altitude, humidity, etc, also play a role.
Cadbury (UK version) is perfectly serviceable: it's sweet, milky/creamy, melts in the mouth and is relatively smooth. Some other chocolates may be better, but Cadbury is hardly bad at the price point. Contrast that to some cheap Lidl chocolate for example and it tastes rough and unblended, like all the components are there but they never came together.
