Daim is a traditonal candy from Sweden. The inventor and manufacturer of this chocolate is the famous Swedish company called “Marabou”.
Daim came on the Swedish market under the name of “Dajm” in 1953. It took some more years when Daim found its way to the Central European market. 1978 Germany, 1983 Austria, and 1988 France and many other European countries. Since 1989 Daim is also sold in Japan. The furniture store of IKEA seems to be a very important factor for the distribution of the sweet delicacy outside of Sweden.
In Austria I am able to find Daim Chocolate only in IKEA shops.
Daim Chocolate is a hard and thin bar of chocolate. The coating consists of a delicious milk chocolate. This coating has a very full flavour, and is probably the best of the whole thing. The filling is a hard and crispy plate of cocoa butter, cocoa, butter, almonds, sugar and caramel.
As I already told the milk chocolate of Daim is quite enjoyable, but the hard filling a bit unusual and quite difficult for melting on the tongue. I suppose you have to bite this hard plate of almonds and caramel. I was not able to let it melt on my tongue. But biting this kind of thing is not such a delighting idea and not so nice for the teeth either.
Marabou is one of Swedens most popular chocolates. The famous candy is manufactured in the municipality of Upplands Väsby. Upplands Väsby is a part of Swedens capital Stockholm.
Today I had the pleasure to try the Mjölkchoklad of Marabou. Mjölkchoklad is Swedish and means translated into English language: Milk Chocolate.
This kind of chocolate made me very happy. It was a true pleasure to taste this wonderful product.
I have experienced a chocolate of a creamy and smoothly character. There is a good and solid taste of milk. I had a very pleasant time while I was eating Marabou Chocolate.
30 percent cocoa content is included. There was not a slight flavour of a bitter chocolate taste noticeable. Marabou is a very good milk chocolate.
Cloetta Polly Original are chocolates manufactured in the Swedish village of Ljungsbro, which is located in the South Western part of Sweden.
Cloetta Polly Original have a coating of milk chocolate, and a filling of a strange and sticky mass. The taste of this mass is a mix of coffee and alcohol.
The chocolates are known as “soft foam dragees”. “With a taste of chocolate, arrack, buttertoffee and vanilla”, is written on the wrapping.
Yes, now I must confess that there is a taste of vanilla. I cannot say that I am enjoying this kind of candy. I can eat a lot of those chocolate dragees without becoming sick, but I am not able to experience a wonderful taste, and there is also no addictivity to me.
I bought the Ikea Chocolate, guess where, directly from the IKEA store.
The wrapping is quite loveless. A brown colour with yellow letters and the explanation of the word “Milk chocolate” in different languages like: Mjölkchoklad, Chocolate con leche, Milchschokolade, Chocolat au lait, Chocolate de leite, Greek letters and Cioccolato al latte as well as Maitosuklaa.
The chocolate was made in the Swedish town of Helsingborg. But also Germany was involved in the manufacturing of this chocolate bar. Anyway, this is going to be my first chocolate review of Swedish chocolate.
The chocolate has a content of cocoa of 30 percent. This is quite alright. At first I thought to taste a bit too much fat. I am not sure if this was a misunderstanding of my sense of taste or not. Well, this were also the only negative points. By such a loveless wrapping you do not really expect a high quality product.
But I must say after one or two minutes the taste becomes quite milky and creamy. Then it’s a true enjoyment to have such a chocolate in the mouth.
I would say IKEA is quite a good treat if you like milk chocolates. But if there would be a more attractive wrapping, the chocolate would also receive a better review. By such a wrapping the chocolate looks very poor.
