Title: lindt fioretto
Post by: clairestelle on March 02, 2005, 10:09:32 am
Hi!

Newbie member here.  Found you in my desperate internet searching
for lindt fiorettos which have disappeared from the shops.  They
were six hazlenut crispy truffle things in blue wrappers and I was
seriously addicted.  My life has now lost all colour and
joy.  Does anyone know if they are still out there or whether I
can travel across the world to buy them?

I know the ones you mean. Try department stores (Beatties, Selfridges, House of Fraser etc.)

I was in Selfridges on Friday I don't recall seeing them. I wasn't looking for them as this thread hadn't created then but they don't stick out in my mind. Spent a good 20 minutes in the chocolate section

Oh sorry but YUK! The very idea makes me shiver. Sorry, can't stand praline.

I know that fioretto will return in October, in Italy at least.
This is not 'season' for lindt fioretto now.

Lindt Fioretto are one of my favorites sweets.


In Germany, Poland, Austria they are avaible in shops whole year and in many different sorts (not only hazelnut but also marzipan, zabaione, stracciatella, cinnamon, chocolate mousse)


Love them!!

The Continent is obsessed with praline and hazelnut orientated chocolate.

You're right Oldspice. And in that case there must be something about them Smile


And they are not similar to  Kinder Bueno. Not a bit.


It is reaally delicious smooth( in different flavours) praline enrobed in crisped rise, hazelnuts pieces and milk chocolate.


And here are my favourites: Fioretto Winter.

Do they do any without praline?

Praline is not only word for describing sort of filling but also name for chocolate confectionery filled with nougat, marzipan, liquer etc. just like LINDT Fiorettos.


 


So you may like Fiorettos even if you don't like praline fillingSmile

Hi Nougatine! Glad to find another fioretto afficionado.  i am
obsessed with them, particuarly the blue nougat ones. What are the
chocolate mousse ones like?  Are they still praline tasting? Does
anyone know of anywhere I can get them in England or any company that
imports them from Germany?  I'm desperate!!

Hi! I'm glad tooSmile


It is hard to say how is the Fioretto chocolate mousse like.


Hmm..very smooth, delicate, maybe like chocolate truffel. It has one layer of thick, milk chocolate with crisped rise and one thiner of dark chocolate and insaide you can find chocolate mousse.


I'm affraid  they are not my favourites. 


Fioretto Cinnamon,Nougat, Stracciatella and Marzipan- oh yes, they areThumbs Up
