I'm really REALLY curious about the last one. I mean, $550!? WHAT THE HELL!?

the 89 cent one was hersheys if you were wondering

the less expensive white chocolate was wilton

@@sydneyarrandt7961 that doesn't surprise me, I do like Lindt white chocolate though -

So I’m eating her chocolate while watching this 😂

..they also explicitly state it in the description box.

Guittard makes great courverture chocolate, baking chips. Their single origin chocolate from Hawaii, and Africa are amazing.

You don't have to be European to see that ghostly white monstrosity was probably not even chocolate!

Melted down it would be a good cake topping

you cand find them in Asia

Never seen it that ghostly in America either.

No one cares

If you liked this video, you may also want to know that there are a number of steps to making chocolate! First, cocoa beans are picked from the tree. At this stage, the beans are white and gooey. The beans are fermented for 2 weeks and left to dry. Once dry, the beans have turned brown! The dried beans are roasted to create more flavor, and finally, made into chocolate products!

Ikr lmao "mmmm im getting a hint of chocolate"

angery dogger Yes 😂

Kewl ADEL same hahaha

Looool

lindsey s I know right! The preception of natural and quality us so different than reality sometimes, and people always go with their preception of quality! No real food should be as white as bleached paper!

THAT'S WHAT I SAY HAHAHA

In my whole life I haven't seen a white chocolate as white as in this video, it always was yellow. How can anyone even think the yellow color is a bad sign?

the whitest chocolate that i've ever had was also the worst, it doesn't even said "white chocolate" in the package, it was something like "white chocolate flavored bar"

In the netherlands I've never even seen that truly white chocolate, It's always the more yellow version

I know I would

Lmao😂😂

hired.

Yeaaah im Also Swiss

No chocolate is not in your blood. Chocolates are in your blood. The Swiss are famous for chocolates not chocolate. There is a difference. Also that isn't her job. She is chocolate royalty and the heiress to the guittard company and legacy. Her family has been in the chocolate business for over 150 years.

way to dissect a joke, now it died

E Cat Yup. Family business for the past 150 years.

They explain that in the description box.

I was wondering the same thing. Is she related to Etienne Guittard, whose name is the brand of a very delicious yummy chocolate available for baking?

It comes down to the scarcity of the bean. The $550 bar is made with super rare heirloom beans. The $7 bar is probably still a good maker, but just a more available high quality bean.

Chocolate is such an amazing thing! you can take it in so many directions from taste, to sensory perception, to history, to food science.....it is fun to talk chocolate all day long

High quality chocolate is not expensive. Unless you are living in a cardboard box, you can easily afford it.

well in many countries luxury chocolates are so expensive

I am poor. I would rather have a small amount of quality stuff than bags of Hershey's

If i couldnt afford high quality chocolate i wouldnt buy it at all. hersheys is crap. but thats my two cents. good chocolate is worth saving for

If you appreciated this video, you may also want to know that Chocolate sometimes gets a bad rap because chocolate products can include a lot of added sugar. Sometimes, there’s even up to 50g of added sugar in one chocolate bar! For context, the World Health Organization recommends staying under 25 g (or 6 teaspoons) of added sugar per day!

stvsueoka1 not me. She talks waaaaaaay to much. Just eat it. OMG

The point of the video is to educate people on the differences between expensive and inexpensive chocolate. The fact that she's very thorough in explaining what makes pricey chocolate pricey is worth more (pun intended) than what she thinks of its taste.

Madison Graves She is literally chocolate royalty. Look up her last name. If she couldn't do what she did she would be a disgrace to her family.

Chocolate nerd 🤓

@Madison Graves sounds

It doesn't necessarily makes sense, but it impacts my perception of logic. Just kidding. But it makes sense! It's not the end of the world to have tiny air bubbles showing through your still tasty and pleasantly textured chocolate, but there's a price point at which it's no longer acceptable unless it's truly something special otherwise (taste and texture wise). Considering she didn't particularly care for it and based her decision on facts and logic rather than her feelings on the experience, we could say that it's probably expensive stuff but maybe not worth the price. There's a comment around explaining how it was likely part of a particular box set with that price containing a collection of many interesting chocolates. If that's true then maybe the price point is acceptable. Still, she didn't care much for it. And she's the expert, not me. I'm a chocolate beggar, she's chocolate royalty.

It makes complete sens actually

marcelino adiska but if you're super rich and love chocolate then get you some of that chocolate

USA min. wage is 7.25$, let us say the chocolate bar you were going to get is 5$. This is ~68% of your hourly pay. 800$/hr would be 544$ at 68%. 800x24 = 19,200$ a day X 365 = 7,008,000. So someone who makes 7M a year, a 550$ piece of chocolate would be the same as someone who makes 7.25/hr and gets a 5$ bar of chocolate.

Psycoholic2008 the math is off

What if you have 2 550 dollars

YES!! There are so many grat craft chocolate makers. What you are tasting in most grocery store chocolate is sugar and vanilla. Try to find a dark milk chocolate, that will blow your mind. And seattle is a great place for craft chocolate, lots of good makers near by and one of the worlds biggest craft chocoalte festivals!

I want to see an "expert" fail a vodka test.

David Li If you have a look there is a video on youtube where a vodka expert taste tests cgeap and expensive vodkas and picks the cheap one 🤣

We like it because its an expert talking about what they are experienceing, and why they are experts, then that explenation is backed up by the fact that they guess which one is more expensive

these taste tests are the opposite of blind tests, they do this so that the expert can spot the cheap one by appearance which means they don't have to rely on their taste and are almost always right.

Or a cooking/baking school instructor.

With her family history she definitely knows what she is talking about. But once you eat a lot of chocolate and pay attention you can learn it too.

If you liked this video, you may also want to know that Chocolate can get a bad rap because of all the added sugar it may contain. However, dark chocolate or raw cocoa nibs have 0-maybe 6 g of added sugar, if you’re buying 80-95% cocoa. Always check the ingredient label to see how much added sugar is present, and consider buying dark chocolate or raw cocoa nibs!

I knew there had to be something up, Most other videos when they had an extremely high priced product, the expert could usually even identify the exact product -- As would be expected. The fact that most people in any hobby can identify the top of the line products within that hobby, I thought it was weird that she kinda blew off the $550 before it was revealed.

The most expensive brand of chocolate in the world is To'ak, a 50 gr chocolate bar may coast from $200 to $650. It is an ecuadorian brand made from a unique kind of cacao nib that was suposedly extint called "nativa", the ancestor of all cacao varieties. I leave you the link to the website if you want to check out their products and prices. toakchocolate.com/ Saludos desde Ecuador 🇪🇨

Maité Larrea i was gonna comment about that! It’s soooooo yummy! It’s not really the chocolate that’s that expensive, it’s the presentation and the oak wood box it comes in. When I went to Ecuador I made my dad buy me one cause I was so curious and it’s absolutely delicious! Just too small

The price stated a bar of chocolate.... u might not be reading on the correct brand of chocolate in the video

Codefish

not really, sometimes really expensive stuff are made to look "I don't care about my look, it is all about the content".

Yes coz its handmade that is why its expensive and have airbubbles. Also very perfect looking chocolates look so commercial and cheap.

@@jeremnis Handmade doesn't mean "good quality" and perfect looking doesn't mean "bad". It all depends on context. For example if an industrial chocolate has airbubbles that's a bad sign that the process hasn't been refined (or alternatively, you're buying a pretentious brand that likes to appear like it's handmade...). Lots of high quality industrial chocolate is perfect looking (Lindt for just one example) and is also really good (for industrial chocolate !). On the other hand, I think that a $550 chocolate bar is a perfect example of something incredibly pretentious and only for idiotic nouveau riche snobs since there's no way it's worth it, even with the very distorted sense of value that a billionaire has. Only way that could make sense (barely) is if this chocolate bar was produced on a special occasion and had more of a symbolic value, but we're leaving the "food" space in this case.

@@naohwatson854 It was probably made in America, where they just jack up the price because of marketing. Surprised they didn't add fake gold flakes and mushroom powder.
