Berger Organic Milk Chocolate with Fig Pieces. Autumnal organic bar with pieces and 37% cocoa – mild, honey-sweet, fruity.

Berger Organic Milk Chocolate with Fig Pieces is a milk chocolate bar made from organic ingredients with at least 37 percent cocoa and incorporated fig pieces. Berger produces them in Lofer in the Salzburg region and features them as an autumn variety. The bar weighs 90 g.

Organic Milk Chocolate with Fig Pieces from Berger is a "pieces" bar. With this type of bar, the fruit is not a filling under a chocolate coating, but rather embedded in small pieces directly into the chocolate mass. Therefore, every bite contains both at the same time: chocolate and fruit. The fig is one of the oldest cultivated fruits in the Mediterranean region and has always been eaten dried. Its flesh is soft and sweet, and the many small seeds provide a slight crunch. Berger describes the bar as a fine combination of delicate milk chocolate and aromatic fig pieces. In the product range, it bears the "Autumn" label and thus belongs to the seasonal varieties.

Taste: mild milk and dark, warm fruit

First, the milk chocolate melts soft and creamy on the tongue. Then the fig pieces are added with their dark, almost honey-like sweetness. The fig does not bring any sharp acidity like raspberry or orange. It pulls in the same direction as the milk chocolate, making the taste rounded and warm.

When chewing, you can feel the soft fruit pieces and occasionally the small fig seeds. This gives the mild bar texture. Anyone expecting a tart or acidic fruit chocolate will find this variety very sweet. It is a definite gourmet bar for those who like it mild and cozy.

Usage: pure with tea, as a snack on the go, as a gift

The bar tastes great on its own, piece by piece with a cup of tea or coffee. On a cool autumn afternoon, it is a lovely accompaniment to black tea. After dinner, two pieces make a small, effortless dessert. The bar also pairs well with a milky coffee, as milk chocolate and milk foam get along well.

Store the chocolate in a cool, dry place, away from heaters and sunlight. This keeps the surface shiny and the fruit pieces retain their soft consistency. It is best to wrap an opened bar back in its packaging.

Our tip: Pack the bar in your jacket pocket for your next autumn walk. It stays firm in cool temperatures, and a piece on a bench by the wayside tastes like fallen leaves, sun, and figs.

Origin: an autumn variety from the Saalachtal valley

This bar comes from Lofer in the Pinzgau Saalachtal valley, where Berger produces its entire range. It all began in 1994 in the garage of Hubert Berger's parents. Together with his wife Christine, the master confectioner built it into a full confectionery. Today, son Franz and daughter Anna are involved in management. Franz Berger is a chocolatier himself and is responsible for product development. Christine Berger says about their range development that there are trends even in food that the company wants to identify early on.

Berger releases changing collections every year, and the fig bar is labeled there as an autumn variety. The ingredients come from organic farming; the control number is AT-BIO-301. The milk chocolate has a cocoa content of at least 37 percent. In addition to raw cane sugar, cocoa butter, whole milk powder, and figs, the ingredient list includes rice flour, cocoa mass, and vanilla.

For whom: for anyone who likes it cozy in autumn

This bar is for everyone who loves milk chocolate and likes dried fruit. It is suitable as an autumn gift and as a small token of appreciation for people who like to sit on the sofa with a tea and a book. Just as mild, but with a crunch, is the Milk Chocolate with Caramel Pieces. It gets fruitier and fresher with the Milk Chocolate with Raspberry Pieces. You can find the remaining varieties on our Berger Confiserie page.

Allergy information: The bar contains milk as well as sulfur dioxide and sulfites and may contain traces of peanuts and tree nuts. It is not suitable for those with a milk or sulfite intolerance.
