Just a quick question that I'm hoping someone can answer... here in Paris it doesn't really say semi-sweet or not on the chocolate. There is milk, white and dark... but the dark has varying degrees of cocoa percentage. So... does anyone know what percentage to look for when I need semi-sweet? I have a feeling dark really starts at around 70%-ish.. but perhaps I'm wrong?

Any ideas guys?

Thanks

Vicky

At the bottom there are different charts for U.S. and European percentages. HTH
