A bar of dark Bournville chocolate

Bournville is a brand of dark chocolate produced by Cadbury. It is named after the model village of the same name in Birmingham, England and was first sold in 1908.[1]

The brand is widely available throughout the United Kingdom and has a minimum 36% cocoa content there.[2] In 2014, Cadbury redesigned it as a "premium" brand in India, increasing the cocoa content from 44% to 50% and giving it new, black packaging.[3]
