The one time I tried Green & Black's I wasn't impressed, but maybe I will give it another shot.

You generally can't go wrong with chocolate!

Green and Black makes decent chocolate, but is hardly the little boutique operation it once was. It is now owned by Cadbury's, and international player. Find a good local choclatier and support them by eating lots of dark chocolate, every day.

Blah. Green & Blacks only rates a couple of notches up from Hershey's. In my view it is comparable to Lindt and Scharffenberger, both good chocolates in their own right but I wouldn't call any of them 'high quality'.

Green & Blacks doesn't melt very well, especially their white chocolate which has a tendancy to seize, even when heated over a very low heat.

I didn't know that Cadbury owned Green and Black, now I think they will try to make it more better, I love Cadbury, There are several offers for Valentines Day the most I like is Free International Calls from Vopium on Valentines Day, I think Green and Black chocolates with Free Calls really brings cheers to V. Day celebrations :)

Mayan Gold is one of my favourite chocolates.

Green & Black's dark chocolate is delicious, but not top-tier; I think Valhrona and Dagoba are both better quality chocolate.

That said, I agree with Uncontrol -- their Maya Gold is amazing.

Dagoba is now owned by Hershey. The first thing Cadbury did with Green and Black was to change the production recipe to make it so that it was no longer vegan. Many vegans who choose it because it met their dietary standards are unaware of this. We'll see what happens with hershey's ownership but its interesting that the name Hershey appears no where on the Dagoba website. Given Hershey's history of turning a blind eye to child slave labor, it is a big PR coup for them to now have a claim to Dagoba's internal culture of adhering to internationally recognized moral standards.
