Well, things have been... interesting. My semester break comes to the end. As a result I've not been putting a lot of time into the blog. Again. And I've been eating lots of chocolate. I've just been busy with getting used to the new semester and therefore not writing about the chocolate happenings. Today, however, I feel like posting so I'm going to go on a bit about what I've been up to.

First things to address is I've not eaten a lot of interesting chocolate of late, but I did pick up some Swiss Chocolate Brut (white chocolate ) by nestle. White chocolate is not actually chocolate. White chocolate doesn't contain any cocoa solids and does not have 'chocolate' flavor. But I like the unique creamy flavor good white chocolate does have of course that depends on the brand and that varies from manufacturer to manufacturer.

White chocolate contains cocoa butter, a product of the cocoa bean used to make chocolate. White chocolate used in baking and candy making is a blend of milk, cocoa butter, sugar and often vanilla. 

Nestlé Swiss is simply traditional chocolate at its very best. The Nestlé Swiss brand carries on that tradition. It is chocolate in its most natural form , simple, authentic and delicious, which is why we like to call it 'chocolat brut'. Stylish presentation, that reflects both the jagged contours of the mountains, and the pure, clean lines favoured by Swiss architects and designers, make Nestlé Swiss the perfect gift for family and friends.

The new packaging is characterised by shiny silver colour and imagery of a chocolate mountain blending into an Alpine landscape. It appeals to "genuine sensation seekers" who appreciate authentic, Swiss chocolate that combines deliberate robustness, purity and delight.
