I bought a couple of their chocolate…
***********Edit (10/01/26): I don't know if they read this review or not, but shortly after I posted it they replied to my email offering to send a new milk chocolate tablet. I've received it and this one is fine, and yes it is delicious. I appreciate the fact that they did send a new tablet. I've changed the rating from 1 to 4 stars, I don't give 5 because I still think the use of rapeseed oil and other unnecessary additives in their chocolates is unacceptable. Also I personally don't find the chocolate to be so great that it justifies the price. **************
I bought a couple of their chocolate tablets on their online shop, 1 milk chocolate bar and 1 white chocolate, as well as a small box of their famous FrischSchoggi to try. I'd never tried Laderach chocolate before. I received the order in Spain.
The white chocolate was good, nothing outstanding though. The Frischschoggi were nice, but again nothing out of the ordinary. The shocking part is the milk chocolate bar which is completely bland and flavourless, it's like you're chewing a sweet mass of flavorless cocoa butter. It was so disappointing.
I emailed them telling them about this, sent them a photo of the product, and have not received a reply.
Very disappointed, I thought I'd be blown away by this chocolate, as Swiss chocolate has always been my favourite and these are supposed to be high quality and made fresh, and considering the quality these are extremely overpriced. There has to be something wrong with this milk chocolate tablet, that's for sure. I mean, a regular Lindt milk chocolate bar is better than this!
I've also noticed they use rapeseed oil which is vile, and other additives like natural flavours, citric acid, etc in some of their chocolates which should never be used, much less by a brand that's supposed to be top quality.
I don't think I'll be wasting money in this chocolate again.
