12 Ağustos 2026BBC News

Master's student Maha Khan has made history by creating the first 100% British chocolate bar since 1932. This innovative product is made from cocoa harvested and processed in Reading, showcasing local agricultural potential.
Khan's achievement highlights the possibilities of sustainable chocolate production in the UK.
Historically, the UK has relied on imported cocoa for its chocolate production. The revival of British-grown cocoa could mark a turning point in the industry, potentially leading to a new wave of artisanal chocolate makers focused on sustainability and local sourcing.
Khan's creation not only represents a significant milestone in British confectionery but also emphasizes the growing interest in locally sourced ingredients. By utilizing Reading-grown cocoa, this initiative could inspire a shift towards more sustainable practices in the chocolate industry.
