Maitre Truffout Haselnuss

The Austrian chocolatier Gunz appears to make some of their products in Italy (a good place if you are wanting to make something with hazelnuts). This is a milk chocolate bar, and its ingredient listing is not that good, mostly sugar. The bar cost less than $2.

How does it taste? The hazelnuts were very small, the bar itself melted very easily and was not too sweet. I like the hazelnuts of this, but I don't think I would get this bar again.

Salzburg Schokolade Haselnuss-Mignon


This is more like Manner's Haselnuss-Mignon, but tastes better. Still not as good as the version that is not coated with chocolate, Salzburg Sweet's Haselnuss-Schnitten. The ingredients are pretty typical of store-bought wafer cookies, ie. this ain't your health cookie. So, don't be eating half a bag of these, like my friend did once (and I know lots of people who could eat the whole bag if they wanted). You can find these in most supermarkets. I don't know the relationship between Salzburg Sweets and Salzburg Schokolade, but I believe they are related, the packaging is very similar.

D'Arbo Fine Rosehip Spread


One of my favourite jams is made from the fruit of the rose, called rosehips or rose haw. The rosehip is very high in Vitamin C, and can be made into teas (I enjoy very much rosehip tea, really my favourite tea), jams or jellies, soup, and even mead. This spread from the Austrian company D'Arbo, is quite tasty, I enjoy it very much on bread, though my beautiful Bride thinks it tastes a little like tomato jam.
