To fully appreciate the complexity of flavors within the new EXCELLENCE Exotic Fruits bars and take your taste buds on a trip around the world, engage in the Lindt Five Senses Chocolate Tasting process. Made with the finest cocoa beans and highest quality ingredients, Lindt EXCELLENCE has a thin, refined profile to offer chocolate lovers a unique and sophisticated sensory experience:
- SIGHT: Examine the chocolate's appearance – color, structure and sheen. Premium chocolate should have a silky matte sheen and an even texture.
- TOUCH: Gently feel the surface of the chocolate, to ensure it is silky and smooth. Premium chocolate should never feel rough or grainy.
- SOUND: Break the bar and listen for a loud, crisp "snap." A clean "snap" is a sign of good quality and texture.
- SMELL: Take the time to breathe in the rich fragrances before placing a piece of chocolate in your mouth. You will be able to identify a range of up to 400 pleasant and intense aromas. The aroma of the chocolate will prepare you for an intense chocolate taste.
- TASTE: Let the chocolate melt on the tongue and experience an intensely satisfying chocolate flavor coupled with deliciously smooth texture. This is the height of the experience, where your senses work together to produce an overwhelming sensation.
The new 3.5 oz. Lindt EXCELLENCE Exotic Fruits bars are now available at Lindt Chocolate Shops, on LindtUSA.com and at major retailers nationwide for a suggested retail price of $2.79.
