Welcome to Day #3 of International Chocolate and Nuts Theme Week.
Today's Milk Chocolate with Whole Hazelnuts (bar) was made by Ion S.A. (Piraeus, Greece).
Aroma notes for this milk chocolate bar included: sweet milk chocolate, nut, faint mineral (light clay), and very faint mint/menthol.
Texture: smooth milk chocolate with an extended (white chocolate) melt and crunchy large pieces of hazelnut.
Flavor notes included: sweet milk chocolate, very faint mineral (light clay), and hazelnut.
The healthy dose of authentic hazelnuts were a highlight for me.
The milk chocolate was quite sweet (sugar was the number 1 ingredient); but it wasn't as sweet as I thought it would be. In part because the number two and three ingredients (milk, cocoa butter)-- as well as the nuts--helped balance the sugar.
Ingredients: Sugar, milk powder, cocoa butter, hazelnuts (17%), cocoa mass, whey powder, lactose, emulsifier: soya lecithin, flavour: vanillin. Cocoa solids: 29.5% min.
Allergen-related information: "May contain traces of other nuts and wheat proteins."
