Lindt

Making Lindt

 

Lindt is Delicious

Lindt was not in my vocabulary when I moved to Germany nearly thirty years ago.   I was familiar with Hershey and and Nestle and all the great American Chocolate makers.  Then I moved to Germany and found out there was a whole other world of chocolate makers and their product was from a higher level than I was used to.  It is hard to convince someone who loves Hersey Special Dark that the chocolate they love isn’t very good, but having tasted it I tried some American Chocolate and it seemed like I was chewing on a great big bar of sugary wax.  Lindt is one of the great chocolatiers of Europe and their chocolate is creamy and flavorful.  The chocolate that Lindt produces has a depth of flavor and texture that is incomparable in the United States.  There are some other rivals that may even surpass Lindt depending on the specific chocolate goody that you are indulging, but over all they are definitely one of the best.

Lindt Availability

Lindt is now sold at groceries and retailers around the world.  It is awesome that they have decided to import at such a high level and still keep the product at the top of the market.  When I returned from Germany after a couple years I had to go to specialty import stores or high end grocery stores to find a decent bar of chocolate like the ones that Lindt makes.  I couldn’t stomach Snickers and Hershey Almond bars, and definitely wasn’t interested in Milky Way or Mars Bars.
