Chokay BIO Bar Milky Hazel

Chokay BIO Bar Milky Hazel – organic milk chocolate with roasted hazelnuts

Chokay BIO Bar Milky Hazel runs roasted hazelnuts through smooth organic milk chocolate, made with no added sugar and no sweeteners. The mild sweetness comes from plant fibre, which leaves room for the cocoa and, more to the point, for the nuts. It is a 70 g bar, Fairtrade certified and wrapped without plastic.

Why this one

• The hazelnuts are the point: they go in generously enough to change the texture of the bar, not as a polite garnish.
• Low on sweetness, high on roast: at a minimum of 39% cocoa the chocolate stays creamy while the roasted nut comes through clearly.
• Organic and Fairtrade: certified organic ingredients, Fairtrade cocoa and plastic-free packaging.

Who makes it

Chokay is a Dutch chocolate maker based in Breda, in the Netherlands. Milky Hazel is the nutty one in their organic BIO line, and the hazelnuts are roasted rather than raw, which is where the depth comes from.

Taste: warm roasted hazelnut runs right through it, with the milk chocolate underneath as a creamy base rather than shouting over the top.

Texture: a creamy melt with crunchy hazelnut pieces turning up square after square.

When to reach for it

On the move: a train journey or a long walk, where a bar with something to chew on beats a plain one.

With a cappuccino: hazelnut and milky coffee are an old pairing, and this is the least amount of effort it has ever taken.

Chopped over things: scatter it across yoghurt, porridge or a bowl of ice cream and the nuts do double duty.

Frequently asked

Is Milky Hazel vegan? No. The chocolate is a milk one, so vegetarians are fine and vegans are not.

How does it compare to Amazing Milk? Same organic milk chocolate base, but Milky Hazel has roasted hazelnuts through it. Amazing Milk is the plain one.

How should I store it? Cool, dry and out of the sun, so the nuts stay crisp and the chocolate keeps its snap.
