Lindt Expands Excellence Collection with Introduction of Two New Premium Chocolate Bars
In Celebration of New Bars, Lindt USA Offers Chocolate Lovers Opportunity to be Part of Exclusive Influencer Club
STRATHAM, N.H., June 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Premium Swiss chocolatier Lindt is taking dark chocolate to the next level with the introduction of two new Excellence bars: Excellence 70% Cocoa Almond Brittle and Excellence 70% Cocoa Nut Crunch. For the first time, the Master Chocolatiers at Lindt have paired 70% Cocoa dark chocolate with sophisticated ingredients, creating two new and delightful dark chocolate experiences. To celebrate these new products and future additions to the collection, Lindt is searching for passionate chocolate lovers to join the company's new and exclusive Excellence Influencers Club.
The Best of Both Worlds
Lindt, maker of the #1 premium chocolate bar in the U.S.*, Excellence 70% Cocoa, is expanding its range of 70% Cocoa dark chocolate bars with the addition of two new creations. The new Excellence 70% Cocoa Almond Brittle and Excellence 70% Cocoa Nut Crunch bars feature an intense 70% Cocoa dark chocolate that is masterfully balanced to be neither bitter, nor overpowering. This rich dark chocolate is complemented by the inclusion of premium nut additions, creating two exquisite chocolate bars that provide the ultimate sensory taste experience.
Excellence 70% Cocoa Almond Brittle
A delicate crunch of almond brittle provides a sweet counterbalance to the deep flavor of the full-bodied, dark chocolate.
Excellence 70% Cocoa Nut Crunch
The subtle flavor and delicate crunch of caramelized walnut and hazelnut pieces enhances the refined, intense dark chocolate.
"The two new Excellence bars offer an intense, yet balanced dark chocolate experience which is enhanced by sweet notes of brittle and nuts," said Lindt Master Chocolatier, Ann Czaja. "I'm thrilled the new Excellence Influencers Club will provide members the special opportunity to sample new flavors and become more familiar with our Excellence chocolate collection."
