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

Ducd'O - impressive, impressive indeed

Expectation:
The box looks quite good and exclusive, that also brings up expectations. Either a great investment or a total failure.


First impression:
The box looks good, exclusive, but I've seen better in the class and it does not have cover over the single parts. That makes the score go lower than it's potential.

Wrapping: 3



How does it look?
The pieces looks really tempting. Even the more strange looking was pieces I could not wait on tasting.

Appearance: 5


Is it yum-yum?
Delightful! Really good taste. It fills your mouth and really lives up to expectations!

Taste: 5


Did I need one more?
Of course I had to taste more than one. But after the second one you find yourself wanting to stop. You want more and you want to stop. A few is enough.

Frequency: 4


Does it cost your shirt?
It's not a bad price when you get quality chocolate like this, and you get to try many different types. Bring it for special occasions and share it with your friends.

Price: 4


Final statement:
You will have big expectations and this box will deliver. For those who ants pure chocolate and nothing fancy this is not for you at all.

La Trufflina - Belgian luxery

Expectation:
Belgium chocolate, absolutely one of my favorite. This beautiful box is from the famous manufacture Guylian who makes the seashell chocolate (I have eaten tons of those). This box looks even more luxurious, so I'm sure I'll experience some magic


First impression:
The chocolate comes in a small box containing 16 small pieces. The box is of excellent quality, and it contains two sealed containers each with 8 pieces of chocolate. The first impression couldn't be better

Wrapping: 6








How does it look?
There are three different pieces. One with white chocolate, one with light brown and one dark. The didn't look quite as good as the picture, but better than average.

Appearance: 4
















Is it yum-yum?
Oh boy, this is one fine chocolate. It is very smooth and creamy and easily melts in your mouth. It does taste much like the seashell version, which is good thing (at least for me). Great chocolate flavor.

Taste: 5


Did I need one more?
I sure did. And there is 3 different kind. You must try all three (even if they taste almost the same). And then you have to try the first again just to try to taste the difference. I could easily eat more. But since it is an exclusive chocolate, I'll probable don't want to buy a lot of this.

Frequency: 4


Does it cost your shirt?
They will cost you a dollar a piece (probable more), so I'll guess it is one of the most expensive chocolate we will try in a long time

Price: 1


Final statement:
This is a nice chocolate for those nice occasions


Total score: 20 (out of 30)

Boca - premium chocolate with premium taste

Expectation:
The box looks rather outstanding and it stands out from most standard chocolates. It's a dark chocolate that really gives an expectation that it will be full of flavor.


First impression:
The wrapping is quite good. It makes the chocolate look a bit exclusive, but not over the top. Also it clearly is a wrapping looking to tempt adults and not kids. It is also wrapped in silver paper making the chocolate look fresh.

Wrapping: 5


How does it look?
The follows the exclusive look. It has probably been designed to look classic and it succeeds. Standard classic but nice.

Appearance: 4


Is it yum-yum?
Do not eat it all right away but let the chocolate melt in your mouth for the best long lasting taste and you won't be dissapointed. Enjoy it while eating it and it will last even after you have swallowed it. 70% is just enough for a strong dark taste while not losing the sence of being a chocolate for everyone.

Taste: 5


Did I need one more?
You can take one more, or you can stop. It is a good chocolate to have with your coffee or tea, or as an after dinner delight. It's for grown-ups wanting to enjoy one chocolate, the real chocoholics will prefer an other alternative.

Frequency: 3


Does it cost your shirt?
The look is exclusive and the price follows the image. This chocolate is for the special occations or if you have a bit too much money.

Price: 2 (not far away from the very special)


Final statement:
This chocolate does not dissapoint if you like it dark. But is not the alternative for does who like it really dark or only milk chocolate. It's for the mid range and most people will enjoy it and be pleased.
