The Netherlands is a European country with the unique distinction of having significant portions of its land lying below the sea. While few Dutch companies are renowned for their chocolate bars, the country still lies at the heart of modern day chocolate industry. This is due to the ‘Dutch Process’ which is a chocolate extraction process pioneered in the Netherlands. The chocolate that comes out of this process is sweeter and has less caffeine and is used in a variety of products such as ice cream and hot chocolate. Some Dutch chocolate companies are Australian Homemade, Droste, and Chocolaterie Stam.
