Sarotti - Milk chocolate (Edelvollmilch)

The tasting notes reflect my personal opinion.

Name

Milk chocolate (Edelvollmilchschokolade)
Ingredients are sugar, cocoa butter, cocoa mass, whole milk powder, soya lecithin and flavouring.
Cocoa content: minimum 45% cocoa

Manufacturer

SAROTTI GmbH, Motzener Str. 32, 12277 Marienfelde, Berlin, Germany

Packaging

Individual bars of 25g chocolate are wrapped in aluminium paper. Four bars are combined into a card board enveloped of 100g.

Look

The chocolate is middle brown with some warmer red tones.

Sound

The chocolate breaks with a very clear snap sound.

Smell

It smells of sugar, milk, cocoa and some hints from artificial aroma.

Mouthfeel

The chocolate is smooth and melts into thick-ish, creamy liquid before dissolving completely.

Taste

The chocolate tastes of milky caramel with hints of cocoa. Fine notes of its bitterness are balanced with the cream and sugar and emphasise a mild cocoa impression.

Aftertaste

The aftertaste is mainly of cream and caramelised sugar but there are also some cocoa notes.

Summary

This is a creamy milk chocolate with caramelised sugar and cocoa flavours. The sweetness and bitterness of the cocoa are well balanced.

Verdict

The Sarotti milk chocolate is well made, comes with a milky and creamy mouthfeel and has some cocoa notes. The product is sweet (as you would expect with a milk chocolate). But this sweetness is balanced such that whole thing has a creamy, chocolatey feel and taste. 4 Stars.
This product is from the supermarket shelf and has an outstanding value for money.
