Lindt Excellence Dark Chocolate

Oh, dear. This is a difficult one. My favourite thing. Mm, I really don't know, you see. If it's what matters most to me, then it's my family, my friends and the dogs. They're not always in that order; it depends how they've been behaving. If it's a place, then it's a field that's presently covered in clover and all sorts of other wild flowers and I'm certainly not telling anyone where it is! An object then? Well, no, nothing's that precious to me. What do I hate having to live without? Ah, now we're getting closer. Chocolate, wonderful chocolate. Not any old chocolate though. Oh, sorry, I didn't mean ...  Read the complete review

My son recently purchased a bar of Lindt Chilli version of the excellence range when the bar he actually wanted was unavailable, and this unavailability turned out to be a bit of a blessing it cost £1.45 from ASDA. ASDA. There are several different options available but it will be the chilli bar I am concentrating on. Most of you will have seen the advertisements for Lindt chocolate and their perhaps over ambitious effort to prove themselves the best. I say over ambitious only because of the mountain they have to climb to compete with companies such as Cadbury who although don't make such a quality chocolate do have a large percentage of the ...  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

If I am eating milk chocolate it has to be Cadbury's but if I want some dark chocolate? Well it has to be Lindt Excellence. How can I describe it, well for a start it is so smooth, the texture is just the way it should be. It is bitter but without being too bitter for me to enjoy. I must confess that I can't eat a whole bar in one go, that is the thing with a good dark chocolate, you really don't need to eat much of it to be satisfied. Lindt Excellence also comes in several varieties, I like the mint but my favourite is Roasted Almond. The contrast of the almond pieces with the smooth chocolate is just divine. Not all shops stock Lindt and ...  Read the complete review

Lindt dark chocolate is in my opinion one of the best quality dark chocolates out there. They do two bars in this range, one which contains 70% minimum cocoa solids, and one which contains 85% minimum cocoa solids. For choice I would rather eat the 70% version, as although I like my chocolate very dark, I tend to find the 85% version a little too bitter even for my tastes. However if I am using it as little curls (or other decoration) on a chocolate or orange dessert dish however, I will always choose the 85% version as its stronger taste will always enhance the chocolate or orange flavour of the dessert that bit better I think. **Cost & Packaging** ...  Read the complete review
