Lightly Salted Pistachio Milk Chocolate Block
Thorntons salted pistachio and milk chocolate bar, made with 32% cocoa from Madagascar, a one star gold winner at the Great Taste Awards 2009.
The chocolate block is presented in a pistachio coloured box, in the same bold and colourful design as the rest of the Thorntons Chocolate Block range, proudly displaying the bar’s award in the right top right corner.
Inside the box the milk chocolate bar is wrapped in a special “award winning” gold wrapper – both the award logo on the box and the wrapper set this bar up to be something special.
Divided into small breaking squares and two rectangle sections at the top and bottom, the block has a floral motif impressed into it and the Thorntons logo in the lower rectangle.
Thorntons Lightly Salted Pistachio Milk Chocolate Block is milk chocolate made with 32% cocoa from Madagascar, with pistachio halves running throughout the bar. The chocolate is sweet, smooth and creamy with the soft crunch of nuts, the sweetness of the chocolate is neutralised with the savoury of the pistachios and you can’t really taste any salt – but I wasn’t expecting to, as salt is added to chocolate to enhance the flavour not to make it taste salty.
The flavours are not too strong and I think without the nuts, this would be an average milk chocolate bar. I was expecting more flavours or a wow factor based on the awards, but overall it is just “nice”. Enjoyable, but nothing special.
