This bar strikes a genuinely nice balance between creamy milk chocolate and bright, red-berry notes from the Madagascan cacao. It opens smooth and milky, with a gentle fruity acidity that keeps the sweetness in check from the start.
As it melts, pistachio brings a rich, buttery nuttiness with a subtle roasted edge, while small bursts of salt sharpen both the chocolate and fruit flavours as they build. The finish is creamy and nutty with a light savoury lift, the salt providing a well-judged contrast throughout.
Overall, this is a sophisticated, layered milk chocolate — creamy, fruity and nutty in equal measure — that never loses the comforting character milk chocolate lovers are after. A great example of inclusions elevating rather than overwhelming the base.
Overall Rating: 8 out of 10
