Lindt Excellence Extra Creamy

I was looking for some chocolate (for review purposes only!) I wanted something special so I decided to pick up a small bar of Lindt Excellence Extra Creamy. I got it from my local Tesco and paid 61p for a 35g bar. The wrapping is predominantly blue and white in colour and has a picture of a cow and some mountains to one side. There is a large Lindt logo. Opening the bar I found it was wrapped in foil on the inside. Underneath the foil I am greeted by a smooth creamy brown chocolate bar. Turning it over I see that the bar is split into 8 small squares. Each square has Lindt engraved on it and some lines. Snapping the chocolate was easy and not too hard, ...  Read the complete review

Some chocolate bars use their names to boast about how great they are, while some prefer a more simple, descriptive approach. Lindt Excellence Extra Creamy goes the whole hog and does both! Lindt do seem to like being wordy, although their English is not always the best: their website, for example, states that "With Lindt Excellence you discover with (all) your senses the ultimate finesse in (solid) chocolate." They might do better to let their chocolate speak for itself! This bar is one of a range of Lindt bars that come in similarly-styled 100g packs, with a stiff cardboard outer layer and silver foil enclosing the chocolate itself. The Extra ...  Read the complete review

Swiss chocolatier Lindt have been renowned as an exquisite chocolatier since 1845. The fact that the brand has been around for over 160 years speaks volumes for the infamous brand. The bar of choice for today is Lindt Excellence Extra Creamy. It is 100g and cost around £1.70 or thereabouts. Rather pricey for only 100g of chocolate but then I guess Lindt has always been known as one of the "posh" brands. The packaging for all Lindt chocolate is pretty much the same. Each milky masterpiece comes wrapped up in a thin card box. This one is predominantly white with Lindt Excellence and its trademark logo in embossed gold writing at the top. There is a ...  Read the complete review

Lindt as a brand always cries out "posh chocolate" and the price usually reflects that. But luckily for me I've upgraded my pallett from Cadbury's and have reached heights in Hotel Chocolat with the occassional Lindt on the way. This is one of my favourite Lindts. Packaging: It comes in the standard Lindt cardboard box which I always felt was a con from the marketers because you have to open the entire chocolate bar, even if you want to just have one square! Taste: The 100g bar really isn't a lot but the richness of the chocolate more than compensates for the lack of grams. You have to break the square off quite quickly as ...  Read the complete review

A lot of people are familiar with Lindt as the company has been there for more than a century. The company specializes in chocolates and their chocolates are among the premium chocolates as they are rather expensive compared to other chocolate brands such as Cadbury etc. I recently walked into my local Londis and decided to treat myself to some nice chocolate. I decided to buy the Lindt excellence extra creamy chocolate as I have not had it for some time now. It cost me a whooping £1.60 for the 100g bar, which I thought was expensive, but I knew it be worth going over my budget. The chocolate comes in a thin box which is rather easy to open as it's ...  Read the complete review
