I've already reviewed hotel chocolat's carrot cake and rhubarb and custard chocolates recently - both part of their new summer range - and the final review in the trio is these mango white chocolates. Now these aren't specifically British inspired like the aforementioned treats, but they're just as tasty and delicious...kind of like Solero ice cream in chocolate form!
They're described as "mango ganache sealed in a white chocolate shell, decorated with naturally coloured white chocolate". Mango concentrate makes up 8% of the ingredients, which is a lot of mango! Perhaps explaining this is the blurb on the pack: "our rabot estate is overflowing with mangoes - we mourn for the ones tragically squashed underfoot"!
Mango isn't a flavor I've often seen paired with chocolate, which is a tragic shame as it works so beautifully, especially with Hotel Chocolat's creamy white chocolate.
The mango ganache here is perfectly blended, it's sweet and fruity, combining with the white chocolate to create a soothing tropical flavor. If you've tried Solero ice creams that's what these will remind you of, but with the added deliciousness of white chocolate!
Overall, these are fantastic chocolates and Hotel Chocolat just keep excelling at creating innovative and tasty combinations. If you like fruity chocolates then seek these out!
RATING: 8.5 out of 10
