Tap it and unwrap it

The segmented ball is held together until you hit it, and the instruction to tap it on a hard surface has been part of the brand for decades. It applies here exactly as it does to the orange.

The ritual is the reason British people remember the product so vividly. It is one of very few chocolate items that asks something physical of you before you can eat it, and children in particular take that seriously.

Terry's began in York in the 18th century, in the same city that gave Britain Rowntree's and a great deal of its confectionery industry. The Chocolate Orange arrived in the 1930s, and it was not the only fruit the company tried: a Chocolate Apple was sold alongside it for a while and did not survive.

Mint, the other British pairing

Britain has two flavours it reaches for with chocolate above all others: orange and mint. Both run through the whole confectionery aisle, from Mint Club biscuits to Matchmakers to every boxed assortment on a British coffee table.

The British preference is for a clean sharp mint rather than a creamy one. It is there to cut the chocolate, not to blend with it, which is why British mint chocolate reads as more bracing than most American versions of the same idea.

Which to buy

Orange if you want the original and the more famous of the two. This if you already know you prefer mint, or if you are buying for someone who does.

At 145g this is the fuller format rather than the loose minis, so it keeps the segmented construction and therefore the ritual.

Frequently asked questions

Is it segmented like the orange?

Yes, and the same instruction applies: tap it on a hard surface before unwrapping.

How strong is the mint?

Clean and sharp rather than creamy, which is the British preference.

Orange or mint?

Orange is the original and the better known. Mint if that is the flavour you actually prefer.

Will it melt on the way?

It can, in warm weather. We do not ship chocolate with temperature-controlled packaging, because the ice packs we tested caused condensation that damaged both the chocolate and the rest of the parcel. We cannot replace items affected by heat in transit, so check your local temperature before ordering in summer.
