PURE CHOCOLATE

A new set of rules (2000/36/CE) to guarantee free trade within EU was passed by the European Parliament on June 23^rd 2000. It establishes that adding some vegetable fats (except cocoa butter) to chocolate products is allowed in the EU countries up to maximum 5% of the finished product. 

A new terrible defeat for the made ​​in Italy and Italian food sector, which remains the global benchmark for quality. E in particolare l'ennesima beffa per il cioccolato italiano, the pride of a nation that is increasingly difficult to emerge to gain respect.

On these pages we have tried to explain what it means pure chocolate and what are the reasons and consequences on our body, EU decisions, suitable for the cancellation of quality products.
