When it comes to chocolate, I think I know a thing or two, and in fact, consider myself somewhat of a chocolate gourmet. With this comes the necessity to be a bit of a snob about chocolate in general, and of this, I am certainly guilty. One thing about being a snob about chocolate is that the true test of any chocolate maker is the quality of their dark chocolate, and the darker the better. Also, it is well known that the finest makers of dark are traditionally from Belgium. This is the first drawback of Lindt chocolates, since they are a Swiss company, and the Swiss are better known for their milk chocolates, especially since they were the ones who first powered milk, ..  Read the complete review

Just found this product here on Dooyoo and thought I may as well bring my review over from Ciao, so here it is. Pricing This variety of Lindy can often be found in most stores and retailers, the price however is the only downside to this outstanding piece of Swiss confectionary. You're looking at normally around £2-£3, a pricey choice for a little indulgence. However, at certain times the product can often be found discounted. If this is the case, grab it! Health benefits of dark As I stated, I adore chocolate, BUT, only the milk variety. So being used to Lindt's down-right divine sister product I never tend to buy Lindt Dark ...  Read the complete review

This review is about the Lindt Excellence 70% Cocoa Dark Chocolate Bar. I must admit, I do like my chocolate. Not in huge quantities mind, I'm not talking Easter time amounts here, but a nice sit down in front of the box with a quality bar is very relaxing for me. Most often I will buy something made buy one of the giant multi-national confectionary brands, like a large Galaxy or Bournville bar, but occasionally I do like to dip my taste buds into some tasty Swiss chocolate, and Lindt is one of the brands I would always choose ahead of the others. Here is my review on one of their most commonly available bars, Excellence 70% cocoa dark ...  Read the complete review

Lindt Excellence Dark Chocolate is made by the Swiss company Lindt & Sprungli. I bought a 100g bar of 70% cocoa dark for £1.55 at my local Morrisons. I like Lindt packaging, it reflects the quality product it contains. The bar is packaged in a cardboard outer 'box.' This box is white with raised gold lettering, a picture of the product and some gold embossing. The entire box is sealed around the bar. It's easy to remove the box, and inside you will find the chocolate bar wrapped in silver foil. The whole thing is distinguishable from other brands because of it's shape. Lindt make these bars very thin, very flat. The box itself is only about 5 mm thick. To ...  Read the complete review

Lindt Excellence 70% cocoa solids chocolate is surprisingly a fab idea if you’re a chocoholic who is trying to diet. This may surprise you unless you are familiar with the joys of plain chocolate but I will endeavour to explain. The addictive chemicals in chocolate are so concentrated in this bar that one or two squares is enough to satisfy the cravings of the most ardent of addicts whereas normally an equivalent 85g pack of milk chocolate is easy to consume in one go. Two squares of Lindt 70% would give you calories 110, calories from fat 75, total fat 8.5g, saturated fat 5g total carbohydrate 6.5g and would completely satisfy your chocolate craving ...  Read the complete review
