This is the Lotte Ghana Premium Chocolat Carré Brilliant Sicilian Lemon, made using 2% juice from Sicilian lemons.
Each box contained eleven individually sealed chocolate squares measuring approximately 3.5 × 3.5 × 0.5 cm. Each piece was composed of a light yellow upper layer with darker yellow flecks, occupying roughly two thirds of the total height, set atop a dark chocolate base forming the lower third. The aroma suggested sweet lemon layered over fruity dark chocolate notes.
On tasting, the smooth surface delivered a clean, crisp snap. The dark chocolate asserted itself first, presenting a bright, fruit-forward character that was subtly lifted by the lemon component. From mid-palate, the lemon became more apparent as gentle zestiness, accompanied by a light crispness from freeze-dried fruit flecks that added textural contrast. The citrus expression remained measured, offering freshness and mild acidity without veering into sharpness or overt tang. These lemon notes integrated neatly with the fruity qualities of the dark chocolate. As the chocolate melted, it developed into a creamy, velvety texture that coated the palate, with the warmth and depth of the dark chocolate grounding and concluding the flavour progression. The overall impression remained refreshing, avoiding the overtly boozy direction that fruit-flavoured chocolates can sometimes take.
Overall, this presented as a well-balanced pairing of dark chocolate and restrained citrus, with freshness, textural interest, and a polished finish.
