Chocolate is one of the most beloved products in the world and behind it stands an industry worth over $100 billion a year. Creating chocolate is indeed an art and the prices of various chocolate products can skyrocket and reach hundreds or even thousands of shekels, but the most expensive chocolate in the world is produced by a company called To'ak.
To'ak was born from a rainforest conservation project and is located in Ecuador in South America. She makes chocolate from rare cocoa beans and a bar of chocolate can cost as much as $600. "Made like vintage wine, aged like whiskey and packaged like a work of art. We work closely with local farmers and artists to create truly unique chocolate," the company's website explains. But are the brief moments of happiness experienced through taste buds really worth the astronomical price?
A pack can sell for $600,
Kylekruegerr, a famous blogger from Florida, USA who has 4 million followers on TikTok, took a taste test for one of the company's products—a $500 bar of chocolate—and shared the conclusions with his followers. The YouTube video received a million and a half views, about 150,<> likes and thousands of shares and comments.
The pack says it is cocoa harvested in 2015. "That means this chocolate is almost 9 years old," Krueger said as he opened and smelled the product. "The box smells good!" he said, continuing his review: "The chocolate comes with a work of art," he said as he opened the package in front of the camera lens. "So it's the box with chocolate and number #68 out of #500. It seems to come with a tray made of bronze and wood and with special tweezers with which you can eat the chocolate," he said.

Krueger opened the golden wrapper where the chocolate was placed carefully and began to elaborate: "I have to say that the smells of wood and dark chocolate completely filled the room." After putting a piece of luxury chocolate in his mouth, he concluded: "I don't think I've ever tasted anything like it."
