So, Milka is owned by Mondelez, an American company.
As for why Hershey's chocolate tastes like vomit, it's how they process their milk. Basically the way they heat it causes it to form butyric acid, which is also something your body produces when you're about to vomit. Generations of Americans just sort of accepting this has kind of made a lot of people enjoy the taste of a Hershey bar. But yeah, it's got that back of the throat burn for me and I hate it.
As far as American chocolate brands go, try Tony's Chocolonely (edit: they’re Dutch but screw it’s I like their product anyway) or Chocolove. Tony's just released a new bar that's ganache filled that's absolutely stellar. They also actively combat slavery which is a real problem in the chocolate industry.
All good. They are sold all over in American stores so I understand the thought. They are an incredibly moral company though which is why it's a bit pricey
I’m an ex-chocolatier. More specifically, I know how to temper chocolate and dip strawberries courtesy of a now defunct retailer. However, I did love it so much I considered making a career out of it. But the supply chain is just disgusting with the sheer volume of human rights abuses in it.
