RE: Food Photography: mystery of Polish chocolates

in Foodies Bee Hive3 years ago

What a nice presentation those chocolates have! Here in Venezuela the best cocoa in the world is produced, but currently with all the economic problems we have here, a 100 gr chocolate bar is expensive, about $ 2 ... I like all chocolates hahaha but I prefer the ones that have higher percentage of cocoa.

Sort:  

Wow, I can imagine 2 dollars for a chocolate is way too much for the poor locals to pay :( Reminds me of the African paradox - they produce the cocoa that most chocolates in the world are made from and yet, a vast majority of those who work on those plantations will never have a chance to buy one :( I recently saw a very sad documentary about it on Netflix...

I heard about that documentary, fortunately here we didn't reach those extremes of slavery, but about 4 years ago due to the entire economic situation here plus the blockade and sanctions on Venezuela, certain products such as chocolate have become a luxury, hopefully we will soon overcome this hyperinflation and we can swim in chocolate again hahaha

I hope you do guys! Your country has been through so much lately... Hopefully some more peaceful and prosperous years are ahead of Venezuela ;)

Hope so! Thank you!
