Berger Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Nougat Filled. Organic filled milk chocolate bar with 37% cocoa – nougat center with hazelnut and almond.

Berger Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Nougat Filled is a filled bar made from organic milk chocolate with at least 37 percent cocoa. Inside is a nougat filling with coarsely ground hazelnuts and almonds. The bar comes from Lofer in the Salzburg region and weighs 100 g.

Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Nougat Filled by Berger combines two confectionery classics: milk chocolate and nougat. Nougat is a soft, spreadable mass of finely crushed nuts, sugar, and chocolate. In German-speaking countries, this usually refers to dark hazelnut nougat, not the light honey nougat from Southern Europe. Berger pours this mixture as a center into a milk chocolate bar. Filled bars are the company's trademark, which the manufacturer describes as a variation on the classic praline. Each square is a small unit of shell and filling, like a praline you can break off. According to the ingredient list, this variety contains 6.18 percent hazelnuts and 5.55 percent almonds, both coarsely ground.

Taste: mild shell, nutty center with texture

When breaking it off, the shell gives way with a soft snap, then the soft center is revealed. The milk chocolate tastes mild and creamy of milk and cocoa. Beneath it, the nougat spreads out, nutty and round. The hazelnut provides the stronger, typical nutty flavor, while the almond adds a finer, slightly sweeter note.

Because the nuts are coarsely ground, the filling has a noticeable texture. You taste small pieces of nut instead of a completely smooth cream. Anyone expecting a smooth nougat cream like a spread will find more bite here. This is exactly what distinguishes the bar from a simple nougat chocolate.

Usage: on its own, with coffee, and for sharing

It is best to eat the bar on its own, square by square. This way, the shell and center reach the tongue in the right ratio. The nougat goes particularly well with afternoon coffee, a cappuccino, or a hot chocolate. On a chocolate platter with several Berger varieties, it is the familiar choice for anyone who loves nuts.

Filled chocolate requires a little more attention when stored than a solid bar. A cool, dry place away from the sun and heat from heaters is ideal. This keeps the nougat center soft and the shell firm.

Our tip: Pack the bar as a snack for your next mountain hike. Nuts and chocolate are a proven summit pairing, and the cool air on the mountain keeps the filling nicely in shape.

Origin: Nougat from a family-run confectionery in the Pinzgau region

The bar is created in Lofer in the Pinzgau Saalachtal valley. This is where Hubert and Christine Berger started in 1994, back then in his parents' garage and in a small space. Hubert is a master confectioner and chocolatier, while Christine shaped the design of the packaging for many years. Today, their children Anna and Franz also help run the confectionery. According to the manufacturer, the entire range is produced in Lofer.

The fillings of the filled bars are handcrafted, according to Hubert Berger. The mass is cooked, poured into wafer-thin chocolate shells, and then coated with chocolate. All ingredients are organically certified; the responsible control body has the number AT-BIO-301. In addition to sugar, the sweetness is primarily provided by raw cane sugar, which is at the top of the ingredient list for almost every Berger bar.

For whom: for nut lovers of all ages

This bar is for anyone who likes nougat and milk chocolate. It appeals to children and adults alike and is a good gift for people who think of nuts when they think of chocolate. A close relative is the Milk Chocolate Almond Nougat Filled, where the almond takes center stage. Things get spicier with the Organic Milk Chocolate Tonka Bean Filled. You can see all varieties on our Berger Confiserie page.

Allergy information: The bar contains milk and nuts (hazelnuts, almonds) and may contain traces of peanuts. It is not suitable for those with a nut or milk allergy.
