If they had any sense, they would release a chocolate orange that doesn't have milk ingredients. Too many people can't have milk due to intolerance and allergies nowadays, and I miss being able to enjoy chocolate oranges around Christmas.
recently became lactose intolerant (and less recently became disgusted with the dairy industry in my country) so I too would be excited about non dairy chocolate oranges
(though heavy metal contamination of many cocoa brands scares me too...)
The alternative to dairy milk is either a different milk like goat milk (which is why American chocolate tastes the way it does) or some emulsified oil like palm oil. Neither are great and would make a noticeably poorer chocolate.
Not necessarily. I have had plenty of very good chocolate that uses cocoa butter and/or plant milks like oat milk in place of dairy. Or they could make their dark chocolate orange without milk with little to no difference in taste and texture.
What do all the vegan chocolate brands use? I assumed oat, but now I realise I may be wrong.
