Freia Melkesjokolade Milk Chocolate, 250 g

Product Information

Consumers in Denmark, Sweden and Norway have been paying increased attention to the impact of food on their health, which has helps to explain the greater popularity of chocolate products with lower sugar content in these markets. At the same time, the focus on health and wellbeing has weakened demand for certain confectionery products, especially mass-produced chocolate products with high sugar contents. In Norway, for example, chocolate consumption dropped slightly over the years, from 9.2 kilos per year in 2015 to 8.3 kilos in 2018.

Most commonly sold in bags, Smash is also available in bar form. That's simply a regular chocolate bar containing bits of Smash, rather than being one big Smash bar! Kvikk Lunsj

The candy is light, with just a hint of saltiness. It’s also very indulgent, making it a favorite treat for many people (including me). If you’re looking for something different than the traditional herring dish, then salt sild is definitely worth trying. You might be surprised at how much you enjoy it!

Denmark’s 2020 cocoa bean imports (773 tonnes) marked a sharp drop from the 3,160 tonnes imported in 2019. Danish imports are mainly sourced from the United Kingdom: 99% in 2019 and 93% in 2020. The drop in imports between 2019 and 2020 is most likely a direct effect of Brexit. In 2021, import levels are expected to return to 2019 volumes. The European Union’s total chocolate production reached an estimated 3.7 million tonnes in 2019. Denmark produced 21 thousand tonnes of chocolate products in 2019, accounting for only 0.6% market share. The largest chocolate producing EU countries in volume were Germany and Italy, with 1,159 thousand tonnes and 553 thousand tonnes respectively. The chocolate production volumes of Sweden and Norway are not published. Other retailers, such as ICA Gruppen, have committed to only sourcing UTZ-certified cocoa (currently part of Rainforest Alliance) for its private label chocolate assortment. A wide range of supply chain actors in both Sweden and Denmark are also UTZ/Rainforest Alliance certified. Popular brands that hold UTZ/Rainforest Alliance certification in the region include Cloetta and Cornetto.A nice touch on the wrapper is a small box identifying the region of the hike featured inside. So if you're heading to Tromsø, for example, you can look for the Tromsø bars before you buy! Of course, hikers don't actually rely on a chocolate bar to plan their routes, but it's powerful marketing all the same! Sustainability issues are pressing for both producers and buyers, and Scandinavian consumers are generally well aware about this. All this means that sustainability will remain high on the Scandinavian agenda. Buyers will continue to require sustainability activities at origin and will work towards more sustainable sourcing practices, either through purchasing certified cocoas or through direct projects at origin. High-quality products gain popularity in the Scandinavian chocolate market

Scandinavia is a relatively small player in the European cocoa market. Scandinavian cocoa bean imports are relatively small, and so is the chocolate manufacturing industry in the region. When exploring opportunities in this market, look for niche markets and smaller buyers focused on high quality and sustainability. Scandinavia: very small cocoa bean importing region in Europe Kvikk Lunsj, I do not know how you would do in a blind taste test against Kit Kat, but I know that our connection is much deeper than that. You are so much more than a chocolate bar to me. You are everything I like about Norway: hiking with my family, reaching the goal and take a break, simplicity and purity.The wrappers now feature a different hiking and/or skiing trail inside each one complete with the phrase “God Søndagstur”. For the non-Norwegian speakers amongst you, it essentially wishes the hungry recipient a good Sunday hike! These three brands of Norwegian chocolate spreads are each unique and delicious in their own way and are sure to please any chocolate lover. The chocolate bar was first launched by Freia in 1937. This was shortly after the KitKat. It's known that a Freia manager found the KitKat while travelling and decided to launch a similar product. However, although the product idea was the same, many aspects including the recipe were quite different.

Freia Melkesjokolade, or Milk Chocolate is a Norwegian classic! This is the most sold chocolate in Norway since the 1960s, and is marketed as en liten bit av Norge (a small piece of Norway). Personally I find it creamy and sweet, and its definitely one of my favorite Norwegian chocolates! It might be one of the smallest chocolate shops in the world, but it's worth a visit! Heidi makes her tasty chocolate by hand, and also offers freshly roasted coffee, locally produced rhubarb juice, and other local products. If you're interested in learning more about the craft of fine chocolate making and seeing the chocolate made before your eyes, book in advance. Many Norwegians prefer to buy their chocolate in large bar form to share or keep for a while. They're super easy to spot in the supermarkets, and are often found with a discount.Djungelvrål is especially popular with children, who love the intense salty flavor. However, adults often enjoy candy as well. In fact, many Swedish adults say that Djungelvrål is one of their favorite childhood memories. If you haven’t tried it yet, you’re missing out on a true Swedish treat! The chocolate bar was first introduced in 1937 and has since become a national icon in Norway. Freia Kvikk Lunsj is commonly given as a gift and is often eaten during breaks from skiing or hiking. The chocolate bar is a beloved part of Norwegian culture and is enjoyed by people of all ages. There has also a peanut version round and about called ‘Peanøtt Kubbe' although I haven't seen it for a while. The peanut taste is much more overpowering than the rice of the original. However, I'm not sure whether that's because that's the genuine taste, or because I really don't like peanuts very much! Troika
