>Why does European Dark chocolate taste different than US dark chocolate?

I have been to Europe many times and their chocolate taste great, however all euro's hate milk chocolate so I assume all of their chocolate is dark. This being the case, Dark Chocolate in the US is bitter and not good. So whats the difference between the two?

The higher the concentration of cacao the more bitter it becomes.

there are lots of smaller chocolatiers that make better chocolate, but you would have to go somewhere other than Walmart and Kroger to find it. Shouldn't be surprised that most Americans won't do that though.

You are incorrect. Never seen dark chokolate being much more popular, most of the flagship products of popular brands are milk chocolate.

It used to be that was the case, but nowadays even Safeway and Walmart stock shelves full of imports because the millennials get off to foreign brands. Legit import stores are usually run by first-second gen immigrants and they'll stock anything from baked goods, imported cured meats, imported beers + wines, european shelf stock and lots and lots of confections. Usually they'll have a deli where you can order prepared meals too. They're good places with friendlier staff than anything corporate, I enjoy supporting them.

Thank you, very interesting.
I am a poorfag from the countryside and I don't know such exotic stores and I can't afford to travel.
The exotic things from foreign countries I come to see are Italian birds breeding here during springtime and sometimes I can steel few eggs that are very tasty. But they regularly defend their eggs so I send my cat in first and birds attack the cat.
Maybe one day I can make intercourse with lost tourist girl with flat tire (maybe it will be me who made the tire flat haha).
I know that there are American import stores in South Germany where the American bases are.

That's one thing I can appreciate about the Eu's food regulations. If you wanna label something milk chocolate then you are legally required to have something like 25% cocoa in it. US regulations only go as far as requiring 10% cocoa solids in their milk chocolate. At that point it's barely even chocolate at all.

I like dark chocolate then you can taste the sweetness of the cocoa not the sweetness of added sugar. Once you get used to dark chocolate and stop sperging about muh after taste you won't ever eat milk chocolate ever again.
