Organic Whole Milk Chocolate with Roasted Hazelnuts

Organic Whole Milk Chocolate with whole roasted hazelnuts

Berger Confiserie's Organic Whole Milk Chocolate with Roasted Hazelnuts is a milk chocolate bar with whole roasted nuts, certified organic. A tender melt meets a nutty crunch, with 37 percent cocoa – a classic that never goes out of fashion.

Organic Whole Milk Chocolate with Roasted Hazelnuts is Berger Confiserie's milk chocolate with 37 percent cocoa, studded with whole roasted nuts that make up a good fifth of the bar. Organic ingredients and a touch of honey round it off: creamy, nutty, gently sweet. Milk chocolate and hazelnut, that old couple, put together here with particular care.

Creamy melt, nutty crunch

Whole nuts sit within the tender, milky melt, cracking dry and warm as you bite into them and releasing a roasted aroma. The soft melt outside, the firm kernel inside: that is where the appeal lies.

First the creamy melt of the milk chocolate, mild and round, then the bite into a whole hazelnut – roasted, warm, with that typical bitter edge that counters the sweetness. A touch of honey settles underneath, barely noticeable, and softens the whole. At 21.8 percent, this bar is almost a quarter hazelnut, and you notice it in every piece. Creamy, nutty, crunchy – this is how childhood and the afternoon coffee table taste, all at once.

Whole organic hazelnuts in organic milk chocolate

Berger roasts whole organic hazelnut kernels and embeds them in a milk chocolate made from organic cocoa.

Raw cane sugar, cocoa butter, whole milk powder and cocoa mass form the bar, together with the roasted nuts and a little honey, all ingredients from organic farming.

Nuts in particular show quality, because carefully selected organic kernels roast more evenly and taste fuller. The small share of honey softens the milk and suits the roasted nut. You'll find the bar among our chocolate bars, right next to the plain organic milk chocolate.

From the confectionery in Salzburg's Saalach Valley

Berger Feinste Confiserie is based in Lofer in Salzburg's Saalach Valley, where Hubert and Christine Berger started out with handmade chocolate in 1994.

What began in a garage is today one of Austria's best-known confectioneries, with around 100 employees and nine shops. For its nut varieties, Berger specially selects organic hazelnuts and organic almonds, just as Hubert and Christine did from the very beginning. At Schokoladenweg 1, every variety is made by hand, each bar poured and topped with nuts. If you prefer nut and nougat united, reach for the milk chocolate with nut nougat filling.

With afternoon coffee and straight from the hand

The bar holds 100 g of chocolate with whole nuts, for breaking and sharing. With afternoon coffee, a glass of milk or simply straight from the hand, the nut bar is especially lovely. Stored cool and dry, away from strongly scented neighbors in the cupboard, it stays crunchy for a long time. At room temperature the nutty aroma comes through fully, which is why the bar deserves a little while out of the cold before you dig in.

The roasted flavors of a strong espresso meet the nuts, and chopped coarsely over a scoop of vanilla ice cream, the crunch comes back once more. As a gift it always goes down well, as does the rest of the Berger range with its filled and plain varieties.
