Review: White Toblerone

This is another white chocolate that I looked forward to dig into. It is described as “Swiss white chocolate with honey (3%) and Almond nougat 10%” Cocoa(butter) contents not given.

Graphically the box clearly indicates that we are dealing with a white chocolate, though the nougat/honey part is not graphically represented. And I think it could be. The chocolate itself has a nice smooth white colour. Appearance: 7, 5 out of 10.

The aroma is nice with white chocolate and citrusy notes (acid) and “cake” notes (probably stemming from the honey). Aroma: 7, 5 out of 10.

Toblerone’s classic triangular shape gives a very compact piece of chocolate. In my opinion it is too chunky and massive a texture. The almond nougat is very finely ground, and adds, in my opinion, too little in terms of texture. The compact nature of this offering ensures that crunch is not sorely missed. The chocolate is very waxy and therefore its melt and mouth feel isn’t the best in my opinion. Texture: 7 out of 10.

This bar strikes a good balance, not being too sweet and has a pleasant aftertaste of honey. However, the white chocolate itself is unfortunately not very exciting. It is too milky. Nevertheless the honey does good job in adding a bit of depth, flavour wise. In my opinion the honey is indeed this bar’s strong point, though in my opinion a better executed white chocolate flavour might turn this into an excellent proposition indeed. Aroma: 7, 5 out of 10.

Average: 7, 375 out of 10
