Cote D’or Chocolate Review
I had my first Cote D’or chocolate bar over two weeks ago but as I don’t like to jump on and start a review after the first go I’ve had a couple more since then and I’ve now come to the conclusion….but first!
Cote D’or has been around a long time being established in 1883 – a fact it makes clear on its packaging. Although now owned by Kraft foods it’s kept all of its individual, historical feel so you can’t help but feel you’re getting a decent piece of chocolate when you flip open the card wrapping and split the foil.
One thing I’ve not noticed in other bars that this chocolate had was a top layer ‘glued’ onto the main bar base. So the shaped elephant logos on the top were part of a seperate piece. Now at first I thought this was merey a cheap way of producing the chocolate but the whole bar also splits lengthyways in your mouth and I can see it has a massive effect on the taste and texture of the chocolate.
As its temperature raises in your mouth the parts seperate and play around on your tongue increasing the surface area to get the chocolatey taste its an absolutely fantastic little gizmo. Whether its done for manufacturing reaosns or for this I don’t care – it tastes a lot nicer than the usual single block method.
So what do I truly think of the Cote D’or 70% Dark Chocolate Bar?
I’m thoroughly impressed: 5/5
