Welcome to a 3-day Chocolate and Mother's Day** series from Läderach Chocolatier Suisse.
Today's FrischSchoggi (Fresh Chocolate) Heart Cherry-Raspberry chocolate was distributed by Läderach ("UK Lmted.") and produced in Switzerland.
Läderach "premium chocolates are manufactured from bean-to-bar" in Switzerland; and the company has retail shop locations in the U.S., including one in Palo Alto, CA.***
Today's attractively packaged confection was one of Läderach's heart-shaped items featured for Mother's Day (Sunday, May 8, 2022).
The generously-sized heart was attractively designed with a multi-hued upper layer (ivory-pink field topped with red rose and cocoa-colored (covered tiny waffle) pieces) atop a solid, dark chocolate base layer. There was something in this celebratory spring confection for white, milk and dark chocolate fans.
The aroma for this chocolate included subtle sweet chocolate, with faint red fruit (cherry, berry) and faint fruit-floral notes.
Flavor complexity was achieved via contrasting layered flavors and textures. Small pops of sweet-tart cherry and diffuse sweet mixed berry (blackberry, raspberry) added bright fruit notes. The small coated waffle pieces added soft crunchy texture.
The darker 56% cacao chocolate layer helped balance out the sweetness in the white chocolate. Small quantities of malt and vanilla added subtle, mellow warmth.
