The increase in the price of cocoa, naturally, has led to a rise in the prices of all the products for which it is used as a raw material. Thus, compared to last year’s Easter, the prices for chocolate eggs, but also for all chocolate products in general, appear increased by 1-2 euros per kilo.
As the confectioner Michalis Tsatsoulis told ERT, chocolate eggs this year are sold for an average of 20 euros per kilo: “We have tried to absorb as much as possible the price increases of chocolate. It is very difficult, due to the fact that cocoa, cocoa mass, etc. have increased to 45% to 50% compared to last year. Nevertheless, we have made an increase of 1 to 2 euros per kilo in chocolate products. This egg, for example, is 600 grams of chocolate and we sell it packaged with decorations etc. for 20 euros. Chocolate candies at 10 euros. The bunnies and bunnies that were 12 euros last year are 15 euros this year.”
Mr. Tsatsoulis also added: “The chocolate buns cost 16.50 euros each, while the plain buns at 8.90 euros each, are 750 grams, with a tear of mastic and Greek butter. We try to keep the quality but also the price as much as possible at normal levels”.
