Lindt Lindor Chocolate: Truffles, Milk, White And Dark Chocolate

By:

Published: July 19, 2007

Betty Crocker said it best,  "And above all…THINK CHOCOLATE!" Oh the wonderful, sweet, creamy, rich flavor of a piece of Lindt Lindor Chocolate melting on the tongue! Few things in life are more satisfying to eat than a chocolate truffle, especially those made from Lindt.

Lindt is recognized as one of the finest manufacturers of chocolate in the world. The company was established in 1845 in Zurich, Switzerland, by David Sprüngli-Schwarz and his son, Rudolf Sprüngli-Ammann. This is about 150 years after chocolate was first introduced in Europe, after first being discovered by the conquistador Cortez. Chocolate was originally enjoyed as a drink by native peoples in Latin America.

A favorite product of the company is Lindt Lindor Chocolate. Lindt Lindor Chocolate is a shell made of Lindt Milk Chocolate, Lindt Dark Chocolate, and Lindt White Chocolate. Lindt Lindor Chocolate holds unbelievably luscious centers. These confectionery masterpieces are called Lindt Lindor Chocolate truffles and are individually wrapped in appealing colors and sold individually or in packages. A bag of Lindt Lindor Chocolate makes an excellent gift to a host or hostess at a dinner party.

Lindt Chocolate truffles are made from different types of Lindt Lindor Chocolate. Lindt Milk Chocolate is made, like all eating chocolate, with cocoa butter, sugar, and vanilla being added to cocoa powder. Milk solids are added to make this chocolate into milk chocolate. Lindt Dark Chocolate is made without adding milk solids, and Lindt White Chocolate is made without cocoa powder at all, only cocoa butter, sugar and vanilla.

Lindt Lindor Chocolate is sold around the world and in the US at Target stores and Longs Drug Stores. Lindt chocolate truffles can be purchased directly from Lindt at Lindtusa.com. A bag of Lindt Lindor Chocolate truffles costs around $7 for an 8.5 ounce bag and $12.99 for a 19 ounce bag. Lindt Lindor Chocolate is recognized among the finest brands of chocolate made anywhere, and Lindt is the first food processing company in Switzerland to receive the government's Quality Assurance Certificate.

Lindt Lindor Chocolate is a product of a 160 year long tradition of fine chocolate-making that emerged from perhaps the most delicious discovery made in the New World. The king of the Aztecs, Montezuma, is reported to have been drinking up to 50 cups of chocolate a day which must make him the first recorded chocoholic in history. If Lindt Lindor Chocolate had been available, surely Monteczuma would have had a bag of Lindt truffles at his side at all times. As Lucy of the Peanuts comic strip said, "All I really need is love, but a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt!"
