Fazermint - a hit


Expectation:
This is one of my favourite chocolate and I'll usual buy a box when I'm out travelling. I got high expectations for this chocolate, and I also thinks that our test panel will like it (ff you like mint that is)


First impression:
Each chocolate piece is wrapped in a a sliver wrapping. All the pieces is stored in a nice box that you can open and close.

Wrapping: 4


How does it look?
The pices is really tempting and you can smell the sweet mint flavour.

Appearance
: 4



Is it yum-yum?
the dark chocolate piece with mint filling is delicious. Not to strong mint, just perfect.

Taste
: 5


Did I need one more?
I can eat lots of this. And then the next day. Next week. Next month. Next year. Almost a 6.

Frequency
: 5


Does it cost your shirt?
It's not the cheapes chocolate, but it is quite manageable. And since it is soo good, this a keeper.

Value for money: 5


Final statement:
A top chocolate, a hit.

Total score: 23/30

Ljesnjak - Are you supprised?


Expectation:
Eastern European chocolate. These isn't my favourite so expectation is low. But maybe I'll be surprised?


First impression:
The wrapping is boring and lower than avergae. I would probable not pick this chocolate from the shop. It gets a bonus point for silver vacuum wrapping of the chocolate.

Wrapping: 3


How does it look?
It looks like a regular chocolate and smells a bit strange. It's a very weak 3.

Appearance: 3



Is it yum-yum?
IT is a sweet chocolate with nut filling. IT doesn't taste too much and is rather disappointing.

Taste: 2


Did I need one more?
It's just not that special and does not give you that good feeling. It is something that I can eat if I'm served, but I'll never going to buy it.

Frequency: 2


Does it cost your shirt?
It isn't that expensive and I'll bet is a ok chocolate for most people.

Value for money: 3


Final statement:
Unfortunate. Another lower-than-average chocolate from eastern Europe

Hand made from St.Petersburg chocolate store



Expectation:
Hand made and special from the store? Expectations through the roof. But be aware, that every box that we had was different and I only am going to try one of them. Your result may differ!


First impression:
The box is nothing special. But they have made an effort with some design and every piece placed by itself.

Wrapping: 3


How does it look?
The pieces look quite tempting and I could not wait to try one.

Appearance: 5



Is it yum-yum?
No no no. What is this? Do they not know what good chocolate is? Everyone was bad. Disappointing indeed.

Taste: 2


Did I need one more?
I tried four different kinds and I have one more box at home. I will probably give it away to the postman one day he is late delivering my post.

Frequency: 1


Does it cost your shirt?
Hand made and from a chocolate store. Yes it cost a bit so you won't get your moneys worth here.

Value for money: 2


Final statement:
If you go to St.Petersburg try the nice cheese, the ham but stay away from the chocolate stores at Nevskiie Prospect.

Total score: 13/30

Premieum 86% cocoa



Expectation:
Another of the group premium from Freia. I like Freia, I like dark chocolate so I probably will like this one.


First impression:
The wrapping is standard for the premium group, it's

Wrapping: 4


How does it look?
The chocolate has decent large pieces that you can share easily or just grab for yourself. It looks classic and nice.

Appearance: 4



Is it yum-yum?
It's a nice dark chocolate and even if I can understand that for some this is not just over the top but far far away from theire %-limit I like it. No surprise.

Taste: 4


Did I need one more?
Yup, but you do not need a third or fourth.

Frequency: 3


Does it cost your shirt?
The premiums cost a bit more than the standard and if you find the one you like you will get value for the money.

Value for money: 4


Final statement:
It kept what I expected so of course I was happy after tasting it. I will probably buy this again later sometime, I haven't forgotten it and will look for it if I am in the store and want to buy a chocolate my friends won't be to tempted to take away from me.

Total score: 19/30
