The Five Most Expensive Chocolates in the World
by Onflames on 11/09/07 at 3:49 pm
Chocolates are something we buy often when we do our shopping. But what if the chocolate is too expensive to be affordable?
Chocolates are one of the many heavenly tastes to our tongues. We buy loads of them and store them in the refrigerator to be eaten at will. But sometimes, buying chocolates can get a little expensive:
CHOCOPOLOGIE

- Creator: Knipschildt
- Cost: $2,600 per pound
- Location: Norwalk, Connecticut
Founded by Fritz Knipschildt, a chef who got his culinary education in Denmark, in 1999, Knischildt creates one of the world’s tastiest chocolates. Its costliest on-piece chocolate is a $250 dark chocolate truffle with French black truffle within it (in picture). This special truffle, available only on a pre-order basis, is mainly composed of 70% Valhrona cacao blended into a creamy ganache with truffle oil. The truffle is made with extremely precise bare hands and finally dusted with cocoa powder.
NOKA

- Creator: Noka Vintages Collection
- Cost: $854 per pound
- Location: Dallas, Texas
A compilation of the finest dark chocolates obtained from selective plantations in Venezuela, Côte d’Ivoire, Trinidad and Ecuador, Noka chocolate is the second most expensive in the world. It comprises of 75% pure, single-origin cacao with other ingredients like cacao butter and sugar. One amazing fact about this chocolate manufacturer is that it does not add any type of emulsifier or vanilla flavors in its chocolates.
DELAFEE

- Creator: Delfee©
- Cost: $504 per pound
- Location: Neuchatel, Switzerland
For those ladies who are fans of gold, there’s Delafee to be tried out, because this chocolate is made by applying real 24K edible flakes of gold to each praline by hand. Otherwise, it is composed of sugar, coconut oil, cocoa butter, milk powder and vanilla.
RICHART

- Creator: Richart ©
- Cost: $120 per pound
- Location: Lyon, France
Richart chocolate might be only the fourth most expensive chocolate in the world, but it is made up of 70% Criollo cocoa from Venezuela, which is considered to be the best quality of chocolate in the world. The cocoa used in the chocolates is finely ground, to give a smooth taste to any taster. To match with the finest chocolate, the best varieties of almonds, raspberries, strawberries and other exotic species are used.
GODIVA

- Creator: Godiva “G” Collection
- Cost: $117 per pound
- Location: New York City, New York
With its origins from Belgium, the well known chocolatier, Godiva, introduced its “G” Collection of chocolates only recently. The whole of “G” Collections is comprised of various ingredients and flavors like Palet d’Or, Tasmanian honey and Mexican Hot Chocolate. The flavoring of the chocolates depends on the type of bon-bon that is manufactured.

All the chocolates listed here seem to be overpriced( especially the american ones). You’ll see what I mean after having tasted chocolates by Patrick Roger in Paris, or Chaudin, in Paris. My all time favs are Chocolate with Basil, Chocolate with Chili, chocolate with irish whiskey

I wonder if they used child slave labor to farm such fine, expensive chocolate?
Oh the illusion of luxury that this culture bestows on us…

Don’t buy NOKA, you’re being conned out of your money.

As a long time Godiva eater, I have to say that it is not overpriced. At least I never felt like I was being taken when I purchased it. It was always worth every penny.

Not eating chocolate won’t help starving children. If you’ll notice, almost nobody actually buys these chocolates by the pound. It’s quite unlikely somebody would spend that much on chocolate in less than maybe an entire lifetime unless they are extremely rich. Spending ten dollars on chocolate here and there is as evil and selfish as going to the spa now and then – i.e. not very.

Dianalynn makes a great point, except that well, she’s on the internet, probably with her own computer (with DSL) surfing the net and posting a “make you feel guilty” comment. Yeah, surfing the net… there’s a way to help kids!
In any case, for people making 6 or 7 figures, this stuff is the equivalent of a Friday night dinner. Think Bill Gates balks at $2,600/lb chocolate? Doubt it. He gets that on interest maybe every hour. More than anything, these chocolates are status items except for those few conniseurs who can double-blind tell the difference between a great chocolate and a spectacular one. Fact is, take the wrappers off, make the chocolate look the same and most people couldn’t tell which chocolate is better (even if they can tell there is a difference). Okay, rant off. Time to celebrate with some hershey’s kisses followed by white zinfandel and kraft cheddar cheese.

Oh yes, Pierre Marcolini is deathly good chocolate. I’ve had Richart a few times, but in the more reasonable $32 option. Really excellent fine texture, unlike anything I’ve ever had before. It’s a kind of chocolate that requires a lot of thought.

One name you left off the list is Hershey’s, who makes some outstanding chocolate. If you would like to try it, you can easily find it in most groceries and convenience stores. I usually buy mine from the Piggly-Wiggly here in Bob White, WV. Their packaging is distinctive and easily recognizable, and I think they have received high marks from several critics.

Chocolate is chocolate. I defy you to tell the difference in a blind test between a 50 cent Hershey bar and a $2,600 chunk of chocolate. Anyone who thinks chocolate is worth more than a couple bucks probably also believes that buying name brand detergent or mouthwash is better, even though the ingredients (which are RIGHT THERE ON THE LABEL) are ***EXACTLY*** the same.

*sigh* How I wish I had a rich boyfriend… I love expensive chocolates and to Dany, these aren’t overpriced. The only one that is is the one for $2,600lb. I don’t think any chocolate, no matter how heavenly, should be over $1,500lb. I don’t know how people can eat Hershy or Mars, it taste like dog crap and it makes me puke if I eat more than a piece.

Hi cecilia, It is fully true what you say… COCOA GOURMET Chocolate is the Number 1. Not only in prices but the quality and service are the best.

OH! I would love to try the CHOCOPOLOGIE! I used to be a Hershey kind of girl until I gave up milk and had to discover the true greatness of dark chocolate. Now, the typical cash register chocolate bar tastes like anything BUT chocolate! It definitely takes a bigger chunk out of my wallet – but instead of scarfing down a whole bar I am more than content to break off a piece and savor it with my cafe.
I see those who are disgusted with how people spend their money – and I can understand why they would feel that way, but we all have different priorities. Some spend it on shoes, some on cars, some on vacations, spa, and well – some don’t have the luxury of spending anything. And I’m guessing (unless you’re Mother Teresa) none of us have the room to judge. We all have our ‘guilty’ pleasures, that we really shouldn’t feel guilty for.

Too bad these chocolates can not help you lose weight like Xocai chocolate has helped me! Find out the difference between good and bad chocolate. Chocolate lovers know that chocolate isn’t a treat its a super functional food high in antioxidants that needs to be taken daily. Try Xocai chocolate-its healthy and delicious! http://www.cocoaraven.com

hi! just wanted to share my find with other chocolate lovers. I was just in Montreal at the Queen Elizabeth hotel and got a super pillow gift. They were two exquisite chocolates from Gendron Confiseur Chocolatier. Wow! what an experience. You can taste the high quality in every little morcel. Was told they were not for sale in boutiques. Called them and got the infos I needed to get some more. The pralins and ganaches are all hand made from scatch with the finest ingredients available. Every flavor is a unique creation (Mimosa, tonka and salty caramel are my favorites). And the prices are reasonnable too!

Godiva chocolate is crap.. only idiots who walk around malls of America think its high end stuff.. rather just over priced super sweet chocolate .. most American chocolates are wayyy wayyYy too sweet. If you are willing to pay premium price then buy expensive stuff like Nehaus, Pierre Marcolini,or Richart – you will cream in your pants- your tongue will never forgive you if you eat that Godiva crap again afterwards.

Whaat? I can’ t believe it!…Why did they put Godiva in this rating.. for me the best luxurious chocolate is Pierre Marcolini!
Godiva is cheaper and not good at all, it’s sugar, no fine flavors, no elegance, no creativity..it’s industrial and not belgian anymore. I heard it was turkish! and their goal is to sell massive
Luxury is about quality!! Pierre Marcolini has a reason to be more expensive; he works the cocoabean and create an intense chocolate he mix with others flavors, even the yield of the chocolate is a mix of two cocoabean he selected within some rare cocoa productions!
Godiva buy cream and chocolate yield to a big industry which name is Callebaut.
I have found this video on Youtube; you really should have a glance at it!
