Before we start devouring chocolate Easter eggs, I thought I'd post another chocolate review... nah, who am I kidding, of course I haven't been able to keep my paws off those chocolate eggs!
Anyway, this is another product in Lindt's
Intense line, where I've already sampled the coconut version. This
time, however, we have white chocolate and strawberries.
The wrapping with its mellow yellow and
strawberry picture is cute. The chocolate squares are the typical
size and shape for many Lindt bars: thinnish, but fairly large.
The scent is certainly intense, but the
first word that comes to mind is sweet. There's that sweetness
characteristic of white chocolate and it's rather overwhelming: I try
to find the scent of strawberries in there somewhere, but not with
any great results.
There are small pieces of dried
strawberry scattered in the white chocolate. They are soft and chewy
and there is a fairly generous amount of them. They have that lovely
fresh tartness of dried berries and as such are a lovely
accompaniment to the white chocolate. And, most importantly, they
taste real, that is, there is no artificial strawberry aroma. The
white chocolate, in turn, is very sweet (as white chocolate tends to
be) and creamy. I will confess that I don't love white chocolate as
much as milk or dark chocolate, but here it's really tasty and,
together with the strawberries, not sickly sweet. And the
white-and-red chocolate is very pretty; I'd imagine it would make
lovely decorations for cakes and other desserts as chocolate shavings
or as roughly chopped bits and pieces.
