Bournville (chocolate)

Breads, Flatbreads and Savory Pastries

Bournville is a brand of dark chocolate made by Cadbury, named after the Bournville model village in Birmingham, England where the company was based. The name first appeared on a cocoa powder in 1906 and then on a chocolate bar from 1908. It remains widely sold in the United Kingdom, Ireland, South Africa and India, and in 2014 Cadbury repositioned it in India as a premium product with a higher cocoa content and new black packaging.
