Scientists Create All-British Chocolate Bar Using Cocoa Grown in Reading

12 Ağustos 2026The Guardian

A Master's student has crafted the first chocolate bar made entirely from UK-grown ingredients since 1932, emphasizing the impact of the climate crisis on cocoa production. This bar, created at Rowntree's headquarters in York from glasshouse-grown cocoa, marks a significant milestone in British confectionery history.
Notably, the late Queen was the only person to have tasted a similar bar decades ago.
Historically, cocoa has been sourced from tropical regions, making this local production an innovative response to environmental concerns. The initiative reflects a growing trend towards sustainable food practices and the exploration of alternative sources for ingredients that are typically imported.
The creation of this all-British chocolate bar is a remarkable intersection of science, sustainability, and heritage. It not only showcases the potential for local cocoa cultivation but also serves as a poignant reminder of the ongoing challenges posed by climate change to traditional agricultural practices.
