Feodora Grand'or Blutorange

The German chocolatier Feodora Chocolade makes good dark chocolate, at 75% cacao content, with various flavourings added. I was most interested in this one, because blood oranges are one of my favourite fruits. The ingredient listing looks good, cocoa beans, sugar, cocoa butter, natural blood orange flavouring, citric acid and Bourbon vanilla

How does it taste? I was disappointed to see that there was no real blood orange in there, just natural flavouring, and combined with citric acid, there is a sourness and taste and smell of blood oranges, though not that strong. As a lover of blood oranges, this in no way satisfied that craving, thought the chocolate tasted and smelled good. I don't thing I would buy this bar again.

Feodora Grand'or Limette

The German chocolatier Feodora Chocolade, making chocolate since 1910; I've tried their chili-lime one. This is a dark chocolate bar with flavourings added, and has a cocoa content of 75%. The ingredient listing looks good, cocoa beans, sugar, cocoa butter, natural lime flavouring and Bourbon vanilla.

How does it taste? This one smells of lime. The bar snaps well and looks very dark. It melts well in the mouth, and tastes like lime, thought not strong. I found this in a German delicatessen. I don't think I would buy another.

Feodora Grand'Or Chili-Limone


The German chocolatier Feodora Chocolade, making chocolate since 1910, gets its name from the sister of the last German Empress, Princess Feodora, an afficianado with a selective taste, who allowed her name and signature to be used to market this chocolate. This is a dark chocolate bar with flavourings added, and has a cocoa content of 75%. The ingredient listing looks good, cocoa beans, sugar, cocoa butter, natural chili flavouring, citric acid, natural lime flavouring and Bourbon vanilla.



How does it taste? The first thing that hit me, was how it smelled lemony, and not the lemony of cleaners, a good lemon. The bar snaps well and looks very dark. It melts well in the mouth, and tastes like lemon, though some of it likely comes from the citric acid (as a lot of "sour" candies use). The chili flavour was not strong, though still there; the lemon flavour was stronger. But, then, it's only chili flavouring, not actual chili spice (or maybe it is, it's not clear). I found this in a German delicatessen, and, if I could get back to it, I think that I would buy another.
