A Taste of Sovereignty: The Sweet but Bittersweet Story of Britain's Homegrown Chocolate Scientists at the University of Reading have successfully created a 100% British chocolate bar using cocoa beans grown on their premises.
This achievement highlights the precarious nature of global food supplies and the importance of preserving diverse crop varieties.
The story begins with Rowntree's confectionery gifting Queen Elizabeth II's predecessor with one of the first British made chocolate bars in 1932.
