Biscuiterie de l'Abbaye - Le Petit Normand Chocolat au Lait

The tasting notes reflect my personal opinion.

Name

Le Petit Normand - Chocolat au Lait biscuits
Main ingredients are wheat flour 34%, milk chocolate 30% (sugar, cocoa butter, whole milk powder...), sugar 14.5%, butter 14%, oat flakes, whole milk 4%, whole milk powder 2%.
Cocoa content: not stated

Manufacturer

Biscuiterie de l'Abbaye S.A.S., Route du Val, 617000 Lonlay l'Abbaye, France

Packaging

The biscuits are in a plastic tray, wrapped and sealed plastic wrap and packed in a cardboard box.

Look

The chocolate is light brown and the biscuits lightly browned yellow.

Sound

The biscuits break with clear crumbly sounds.

Smell

There is clear smell of butter and dough from the biscuits as soon as the plastic seal is opened.

Mouthfeel

The biscuits are very crunchy and maintain this throughout. The chocolate is smooth and dissolves quickly as the biscuit is being eaten.

Taste

The chocolate has a milky taste with some sweetness. The biscuits have an intense butter taste that mixes nicely with the chocolate.

Aftertaste

The aftertaste is mainly the baked butter of the biscuits and some hints of the milky chocolate.

Summary

The biscuits have a crunchy structure and a rich buttery flavour which mixes nicely with the milk chocolate.

Verdict

The biscuits are rich in flavour and structure. The milky chocolate mixes nicely but the chocolate tastes mainly of milk and sugar and could deserve a bit more attention. 4 Stars.

Dates

Lot number: 6060, best before 28/02/2017, tasted 10/04/2016
