THE GRAND (BLIND)
CHOCOLATE TASTING
CHOCOLATE TASTING
That's a lot of chocolate! |
Nonetheless, let's discuss the matter at hand. What did we do, how did we do it and how it all went? I also made some neat excel sheets of the final results as well.
Luckily I realized to cut them into small pieces before hand :D |
The idea was quite simple. Get a bunch of people over at my place, make them taste ("blind") pieces of regular market brand chocolates (so none of the fancy/overly expensive/weirdly flavored ones) in two rounds (so the first answer needn't be one's "final answer"), guess (or know) which chocolate they had and finally give the chocolate a score between 1-10. Also had three dark chocolate brands in this test to see if everyone would recognize them among the milk chocolates.
Please don't mix these, please don't mix these!!! |
- Bellarom milk chocolate
- Fazer milk chocolate (blue label)
- Fazer dark chocolate (brown label)
- Fazer light milk chocolate (red label)
- Fin Carré dark chocolate
- Fin Carré milk chocolate
- Marabou milk chocolate
- Milka milk chocolate
- Panda milk chocolate
- Panda dark chocolate (in Finnish dark = tumma thus comes after "m")

Carefully placing a piece in a cup |
Chocolate tasting, SERIOUS BUSINESS |
Hey, no chocolate in there!! |
Notice the #8, a little doubt goes a long way |
I'm guessing he knows the correct answer? |
and the final results were...
Marjukka 7/10!
Mikko, Tuomas, Hennariikka 6/10
Antti 5/10
Markus, Karoliina 3/10
Winner (Marjukka) and a joint 2nd place (Tuomas, Hennariikka & Mikko) |
The winner takes it all! |
THE COMPLETE RESULTS
I'm not even mad that this picture kind of breaks from the side. It was all part of my grand scheme! So let's break down the numbers and I'll also try to explain how to "read" the charts. Should be quite straightforward, though. After the name you'll see their answer and regarding its color you'll notice if it was correct or not. The score column next to the chocolate mentioned before (1-10), meaning one brand could receive a maximum of 70 points. The competition was actually quite tight! A joint winner was nonetheless found!
Fazer (blue label) & Bellarom milk with a whopping 55/70 points! Moreover, not so impressively, Fin Carré dark was the only chocolate to receive less than 40 points and lost the competition with a meager 37 points. But when comparing the other brands they are all withing ~15 points with no "big" exception in point division.
People knew their dark chocolates. Markus & Tuomas were the only ones confusing Fin Carré's dark with Panda's dark and everyone knew Fazer's dark (brown label) and I am glad of that! Surprisingly though, Marabou was only known by two (Marjukka & Tuomas) and Fazer (blue label) (Finland's #1 sold chocolate) by less than half of the participants!
But if anyone else has found their own points of interests, do ellaborate! I found this tasting to be extremely fun and just pure awesome! Do enjoy the final gallery!
