Old Gold Dark Chocolate Block

What is it?

Higher in cocoa than Cadbury Dairy Milk, this block sits in Cadbury’s Old Gold range, which has been around since 1916. It’s a plain dark chocolate block, usually sold in the familiar gold wrapper, and it leans more cocoa-forward and less sweet than milk chocolate. The texture is smooth and firm, with a moderate bitterness rather than a sharp, high-cocoa edge. Compared with other Cadbury blocks, it’s the darker, more cocoa-rich option in the mainstream lineup, but it stays within the brand’s everyday style rather than heading into single-origin territory.
