Organic Milk Chocolate Mango-Passion Fruit by Berger brings tropical fruit to an Alpine confectioner. Berger themselves describe this variety as an exotic temptation, a fruity-fresh ganache in delicate organic milk chocolate. A ganache is a soft cream made from cream and chocolate, here refined with fruit juice. This bar belongs to the filled bars category, which, according to the manufacturer, is the trademark of the confectionary. A filled bar is a variation of a classic praline: the filling is contained in a thin chocolate shell and sealed with chocolate on top. This gives you the freshness of a fruit praline in every square. In the manufacturer's shop, this variety bears the "Annual Collection" label.

Mild milk, followed by mango and a tangy acidity

The bar tastes mildly of milk chocolate at first, then fruity and fresh with notes of mango and passion fruit. The milk chocolate shell melts softly, releasing the light-colored ganache. Passion fruit provides a lively acidity that brightens the melt, while mango adds a round, sunny sweetness.

Cream makes the filling velvety, so it melts on the tongue. Vanilla rounds off the transition between the milk and the fruit. The acidity of the passion fruit ensures that the bar feels light despite the milk chocolate. Those expecting a firm fruit jelly will find the filling too creamy. It is a fruit ganache, not jam.

For summer afternoons and gray winter days

The bar pairs best with a light drink. Try it with green tea, a fruit tea, or a glass of water with a slice of lime. After a barbecue or a summer meal, two squares serve as a fruity finishing touch. In winter, it brings a bit of sun to the coffee table when there is snow outside. It also makes a fruity addition to Sunday brunch alongside freshly squeezed orange juice.

Because the ganache is creamy, the bar tastes best at room temperature. In midsummer, you should still store it in a cool place, such as the coolest kitchen cupboard, and take it out shortly before eating. Store in a dry place away from heat so that the filling retains its shape.

Our tip: Place two squares on a plate with fresh mango cubes and a spoonful of plain yogurt. You’ll have a dessert that tastes like a vacation in two minutes.

Tropical fruit from a confectionary in the Saalachtal valley

The bar originates from Lofer in the Pinzgau Saalachtal valley. The Berger family has been producing there since 1994, starting in Hubert Berger's parents' garage. Today, Christine, Hubert, Anna, and Franz Berger share the management, with Franz developing new varieties as a chocolatier. According to a report in the *SalzburgerLand Magazine*, many ingredients, such as organic cream and herbs, come from the Saalachtal valley itself.

Christine Berger says there are trends in food that the family wants to identify early on. Mango and passion fruit demonstrate this willingness to think outside the box. Like all filled varieties, the bar is crafted by cooking the filling, pouring it into a wafer-thin chocolate shell, and coating it with chocolate. All ingredients come from organic farming, control number AT-BIO-301.

For fruit fans and lovers of mild chocolate

This bar is for you if you like fruity chocolate and prefer milk chocolate over intense dark chocolate. It suits people who enjoy ordering passion fruit ice cream on vacation and makes a great gift for a summer party. For firm berry fruit, there is the Milk Chocolate with Raspberry Pieces. Light and fruity is the White Chocolate with Strawberry Pieces. You can find all varieties at Berger Confiserie.

Note: The bar contains milk and may contain traces of peanuts, soy, and tree nuts. It is not intended for those seeking bitter, dark chocolate.
