Bean-to-bar milk chocolate with dried South Tyrolean apricots – fruity, creamy, 100 g bar from Sarntal.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOberhöller Milk Chocolate with Apricots\u003c\/strong\u003e is a bar from Sarnthein in South Tyrol: milk chocolate made from cocoa beans processed in-house, refined with dried South Tyrolean apricots. 100 g, free from preservatives according to the manufacturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOberhöller Milk Chocolate with Apricots\u003c\/strong\u003e is a milk chocolate bar with pieces of dried apricot, which is called Marille in South Tyrol and Austria. According to the manufacturer, the fruit comes from South Tyrol, and the chocolate is made from bean to bar in the workshop in Sarnthein. The difference from conventional fruit chocolate lies in the contrast: creamy melt meets small, tart pieces of fruit. Break off a piece, and you will notice the difference immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCreamy Melt with Fruity Tartness\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe milk chocolate melts softly on the tongue, bringing rounded notes of cocoa and milk. Tucked in between are the dried apricots. The fruit pieces bring a bright, fruity tartness that lightens the sweetness of the chocolate. As you chew, the apricot gradually reveals itself while the chocolate has already melted. This means every bite tastes slightly different, depending on how much fruit you get.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe apricot is an accompaniment here, not a filling. Anyone expecting a bar with fruit cream or apricot jam inside will find the pieces too subtle. On the other hand, if you like milk chocolate and are looking for a fresh note, you will find a good balance here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor Coffee, at the Mountain Hut and in Cakes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe bar is simply at its best: a few pieces with afternoon coffee or a glass of cold milk. On an autumn hike, it fits in your jacket pocket as a little snack at the mountain hut. In summer, however, it belongs in the shade, because chocolate does not like heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the kitchen, roughly chop the bar and add it to a batter or oat cookies. Sprinkled over vanilla ice cream or quark cream, the apricot pieces add colour and tartness. It also goes well with a piece of Kaiserschmarrn with roasted apricots. Store the chocolate in a cool, dry place away from heat. According to the manufacturer, it has a shelf life of twelve months from production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Melt two bars over steam and drizzle the chocolate over warm apricot dumplings. The fruit in the bar complements the fruit in the dumpling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBean to Bar from Sarntal with Fruit from South Tyrol\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOberhöller began as a confectionery shop in Sarnthein in 1988. In 2010, Toni and Paula Oberhöller switched entirely to chocolate, and their first product was a chocolate with mountain pine. 2017 marked a major step: since then, the family has been processing the cocoa bean themselves in the artisan zone of Sarnthein. It is roasted, ground, conched, tempered, and cast into bars. This means the chocolate for this bar is made in the same building where the fruit is also incorporated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to the team website, senior chef Anton Oberhöller is primarily responsible for the bars. The apricots come from South Tyrol, according to the manufacturer, where the apricot is one of the typical fruits. This bar thus combines bean-to-bar chocolate from Sarntal with a typical fruit of the region. Michael and Hannes have been running the business since 2022.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA Piece of South Tyrol for the Coffee Table\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe bar is a souvenir for anyone who likes South Tyrol or has just returned from a holiday. It reminds you of apricot dumplings, strudel, and the orchards in the valley, without you having to go into the kitchen. It is perfect for coffee with grandparents, in an Advent calendar, or in a gift basket with South Tyrolean specialities.
