A $3 block of ALDI chocolate rated Australia's best by consumers

Do you agree with the results? - by Tahni Mesann
  • 01 Jun 2021

Trying to select a chocolate block in the lolly aisle of the supermarket isn’t as simple as it used to be. There are cult-classics like Caramilk, pricier Swiss varieties like Lindt and of course, Cadbury’s old faithful, Dairy Milk.

Despite the endless chocolate blocks on offer, CANSTAR’s Most Satisfied Customer Awards made the astonishing discovery that a $3, no-frills brand of chocolate from ALDI is the true favourite among Australian chocoholics.

Winner of Australia's best chocolate

The chocolate in question, ALDI’s Choceur came out on top of the competition, which included the likes of Cadbury, Nestle, Darrell Lea and Lindt. ALDI’s Chocolate Buying Director, Adam Millauro, says he’s excited and delighted by the survey’s findings.  

“We are always delighted when customers find an ALDI product they love and are proud that Australians with a sweet tooth have chosen Choceur to take out the top spot,” he says.

“Our chocolate is specially crafted in Europe. This range also uses certified sustainably sourced cocoa, which supports fair working conditions and better opportunities for cocoa farmers, their families and our planet,” he says.

CANSTAR selected the winner based on survey results from more than 1000 shoppers, who were asked to rate chocolate brands according to taste, range variety, packaging design, value for money and overall satisfaction. Choceur was awarded five stars in all categories except variety, in which it was awarded four stars.

So how did the competition stack up?

While Choceur was the clear winner, it was a pretty close call between all of the other contenders.

2. Lindt Excellence

Lindt Excellence was the runner up for overall satisfaction, ranking well in terms of taste but achieving only four stars across all other categories.
