Lindt to supply Chocolate to Canada from Europe (www.reuters.com)

At present 50% of the company's chocolates in Canada came from the U.S., and the rest from Europe.

"We are able to source 100% from Europe," Lechner told Reuters.

Lindt, whose products include Lindor chocolate balls, has already built up inventories in Canada from the U.S. to give it time to change its supply chain, which it expects to complete by the middle of the year.

Chief Financial Officer Martin Hug said it would be slightly more expensive to transport chocolate to Canada from Europe but it would cost less than if tariffs were imposed.

I would love to see more companies move in this direction. It's not perfect, but at least they are trying, and I think that's great.

That’s because it’s over roasted. Too dark. It’s the same reason Starbucks uses so much milk and sugar in all their coffee drinks. Extremely dark roasted anything tastes bitter like burnt toast.

If you want more sophisticated, less bitter dark chocolate you need to get lighter roasts made from single source cacao. That’s not a product Lindt cares about offering so you end up having to get it from much smaller chocolate makers.
