This is the Lotte Premium Ghana Mont Blanc Chocolate, a chestnut-flavoured chocolate featuring 1.3% Japanese chestnuts from Kumamoto Prefecture and 1.9% cream from Hokkaidō Prefecture.

The pieces were individuallyed sealed and presented as small domes, approximately 2.5 cm in diameter and 2 cm in height, with a uniform matte dark brown exterior. Due to heat exposure, the base showed a slight concavity from melting and resolidifying. Aroma opened immediately with an earthy, roasted chestnut note.

Initial contact delivered a soft, slightly floury texture rather than the expected light, whipped structure, reflecting the effects of melting and resetting. The outer chocolate layer led with a rounded cocoa richness. Through the mid-palate, the chestnut component emerged more clearly, introducing a gentle nuttiness and earthy warmth beneath the chocolate. As the chocolate receded, the chestnut profile became more aromatic, carrying a mild sweetness that developed into a roasted, lightly caramelised character. Towards the finish, these notes persisted, with a lingering chestnut sweetness in the aftertaste.

Overall, a filled chocolate with a cocoa-forward opening and a chestnut-led finish, showing clear flavour progression despite compromised texture, resulting in a soft, cohesive structure.

This Lotte Premium Ghana Mont Blanc Chocolate contained 56 g. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Sydney, Australia in 2026.
