That&#x27;s part of the experience you are buying there&#x27;s nothing wrong with it, there are tons of very subtle things that can make food taste better from how it&#x27;s presented to who made it (whether it&#x27;s your mother, S&#x2F;O of a famous chef).
Those attributes however very rarely survive blind tasting.<p>Making chocolate in small batches doesn&#x27;t have anything to do directly with making a better chocolate bar.<p>There are plenty of very large scale chocolate manufacturers that produce premium products and they have a much better process of ensuring the consistency and quality of their products than a small batch manufacturer, unlike small boutiques they also have the resources and the science to be able to tailor the taste to specific pallets much more consistently.<p>Going to a chocolate boutique however and buying expensive bars is an experience on it&#x27;s own which most likely has just as much impact on the final tasting experience as the manufacturing process it self.
