Hachez Edel Vollmilch Nuss (Milk Chocolate with Hazelnuts)
My boss was traveling in Europe recently and returned with a stack of candy, and this bar was definitely blog-worthy (all others were tummy-worthy). The Edel Vollmilch Nuss is a dark milk chocolate bar studded with hazelnuts. The wrapper is odd in that it doesn’t look like the other Hachez products I’ve seen, which are long narrow bars. However, the classic shield and seal that accompanies the logo is the same. The wrapper here is a heavy and glossy paper wrap with a light drawing of a squirrel holding a nut and some nuts growing on a limb. (And of course the little image of the chocolate bar itself.)
It’s a thick bar, and even so the nuts protrude from the bottom of it in a cobblestone look. The bar smells smoky and woodsy with a strong grassy hazelnut scent and a slight hint of dairy. The texture I’ve experience with Hachez before is extremely smooth with no grit and this was no exception. The melt is slick and silky and the twang of the dairy notes were spot on perfect. The notes have a toasted flavor to them that echoes some of the darker notes of the rather dark milk chocolate (37% ... but remember that 24% of the mass of this bar is just hazelnuts). It’s a wonderful eating bar. The hazelnuts are a little small, but then again there were a lot of them. Every one was roasted to perfection so it was crunchy with just a slight sweet note to it. I enjoyed it simply as a hearty snack and a decadent little treat after dinner. And now it’s gone and I’m going to have to find a way to get them in the United States. Related Candies

Mmmmm, sounds really tasty Cybele. It’s a lovely looking bar of chocolate. So, how will you exactly bring the candy to the USA? Very interesting to be able to do that. Sadly, this candy lover cannot consume nuts any longer ..... boo-hoo, I totally miss cashews. None jive with my tummy. Gotta be careful with popcorn also. Those kernels can kill ya. Your candy/news/reviews are the best. I send them off to family & friends a lot. Also, kids. It’s an educational read .... not to forget delicious!!
