PLMA Amsterdam 18 and 19 May 2010

Come and see us at the PLMA in Amsterdam on 18 and 19 May, where we will show you why more and more buyers
are making a clear choice for Brinkers Chocolate Spreads.

Of course, it is a well known fact that Brinkers is leading the way in the Organic (& Fairtrade) Chocolate Spreads category, but there is a lot more that we can offer you.

For your own label you can pick one of the excellent products from our wide range of chocolate spreads, whether that is a classic hazelnut-chocolate product, or a trendy dark-chocolate one.

But you can also, together with our team of highly experienced R&D people, develop your very own product according to your own unique recipe.

If you wish to arrange a meeting in advance,
please contact us at your earliest convenience:

Taste test... chocolate spreads

Look out for:

An immediate chocolate taste that’s natural and not cloyingly sweet, plus a thick, smooth texture that doesn’t err on the side of oiliness. If it’s a chocolate and nut spread, look for a balance of flavours.

Guest panellists: Keith Hurdman and Louise Nason, respectively chocolatier and owner of Melt, W11 (020-7727 5030).

The top three

**** Green & Black’s Hazelnut Chocolate Spread, 400g, £2.65

Very fine tasting with an almost delicate hazelnut flavour. You don’t get a massive chocolatey kick, but there’s nothing synthetic here. Really quite pleasant, you could eat a lot of this before feeling ill.

**** Choco Chocoreale Bio, 350g, £2.49 (available from Fresh & Wild)

The most appealing visually – just look at that dark, rich texture. Not much aroma, but scoop out a spoonful and there’s a versatile, fudge-like consistency you could happily use in cakes and baking.

*** Nutella, 200g, £1.02

A little generic, it’s just a bit too sweet and a touch oily. The balance of chocolate and hazelnut is good though, so you can see why people might like this.

...and the rest?

** Tesco Finest Praline Hazelnut Chocolate Spread, 225g, £1.19

Although this is very soft and spreadable, it still has quite a gritty texture. You can see the sugar crystals, and it’s the sweetness that hits you first, the flavour second.

* Galaxy Spread, 300g, £1.89

This looks whipped, there’s an aerated texture which isn’t what you want. It tastes like chocolate – just not very nice chocolate.

no stars Cadbury Milk Chocolate Spread, 400g, £1.89

Absolutely terrible. It’s something an industrial chemist has cooked up in a lab. Vegetably, sweet and synthetic, this is genuinely upsetting.
