Last week, I
reviewed Fazer's new version of their Kismet bar, the licorice. And
now I found a salty liquorice version of Marabou's Premium chocolate!
Is this a new trend or something?
The wrapping boasts
beautiful colours of dark brown and purple, a picture of chocolate
and... licorice root? Licorice sticks? I'm not sure. The chocolate is
divided into satisfyingly large squares. You can actually see tiny
dark spots in it – the licorice!
With the cocoa
content of 70 %, this is dark chocolate – I suspect it's the same
as in the other Premium line products (I've reviewed mint and coffee before). It
has a strong scent of cocoa and the taste is smooth yet has that
intensity that I love about dark chocolate. The licorice is scattered
in the chocolate in tiny, crisp, hard pieces. The first impression is
”salty” (as is stated in the package) but if you let the
chocolate melt in your mouth, the licorice brittle also begins to
melt and the flavour of licorice is released. It's quite lovely – I
enjoy the sweet and salty combination, and the licorice gives it a
little more complexity.
I bought this one
simply because I was curious and wanted to try something new – but
it will likely not be the last time!
