Läderach Chocolatier Suisse (Jewel Changi Airport)

This special Valentine’s Day Gift Set by @laderach_singapore is a real treat! Not only does the beautiful blonde wooden box contain a dozen large Swiss Miss Strawberries, but also a heap of large 56% dark chocolate buttons. Meant to be melted into a thick silky liquid for dipping the fruit in, these are essentially the same chocolate used in most of #Laderach’s hugely popular dark chocolate #frischschoggi variants. And just like wine, chocolate too possesses tasting notes. In this, you can expect to encounter hints of plums, berries and bananas on your palate as you bite into the juicy strawberry.

Pre-orders have begun. To place yours, just tap on @laderach_singapore’s link-in-bio on Instagram.

Seriously atas and expensive cocoa dusted chocolate almonds at artisan chocolatier Läderach. This small box cost upwards of $25.

I really love cocoa dusted almonds, but artisan chocolate or not, this wasn’t fantastic enough to pay $25++ for one box. More worth it to buy the freshly made blocks of chocolate from Läderach or buy cocoa dusted almonds from Royce or another chocolatier instead.

Läderach freshly made artisanal chocolate is a treat, but an expensive one at that! So you gotta make your money count if you’re going for it.

This is my pick for the BEST chocolate at Läderach. If you love dark chocolate AND nuts, the 70% dark chocolate with hazelnuts is perfect! Although almonds are usually my favourite, I was surprised to find that I loved the hazelnuts way more. The 70% dark chocolate on its own isn’t bitter, but ultimately the taste falls a little flat. The addition of caramelised hazelnuts adds a whole lot of contrast and flavour - sweet, nutty and crunchy all at one go. Super delicious! 😋

$19.90/100g

Not the cheapest, but worth the buy once in a while to treat yourself

Not a chocolate lover, but this is really good. The chocolate does not *burn* the throat or feel too 'jelak'

It was smooth and easy to bite

Truffles (2 for $7.50): one of the best. Get the milk chocolate

This is one for those who really can’t decide what they want. With caramelised Piedmont hazelnuts, almonds and roasted pistachios enrobed in a mixture of Swiss milk and dark chocolate, you literally get almost everything Läderach has to offer in one chocolate.

I love all the nuts, especially the caramelised hazelnuts which are sweet on the outside, but provide a nutty and slightly bitter taste when bitten into.

I like my chocolates dark, so I wish this would’ve been made with pure dark chocolate. However, the milk dark mixture makes this a pretty safe choice for most people - even those who don’t like dark chocolate.
