We conducted a research and found out what varieties and fillings of "Ritter Sport" are chosen by the sweet tooth from Russia. The list of the most popular chocolates in descending order is as follows.

The list includes 7 milk and 3 dark varieties of chocolate, but the white one did not make it to the top ten at all. Let's get down to a detailed overview of each tile.

"Alpine milk"

Classic milk chocolate with the addition of Alpine milk. It has a delicate texture that melts in the mouth with an emphasized creamy taste. Thanks to the special technology of mixing the chocolate mass - the so-called "conching", you can feel the notes of honey and caramel in the aroma.

Excellent high quality chocolate, perhaps even the best among milk chocolate. It is impossible to find fault with anything — that the composition, that the taste properties are impeccable, can be given to the child without fear. Of course, it is very sweet, but this is how milk should be.

Conching (from Latin concha - sink) - it is the process of thoroughly mixing dry chocolate mass in a shell-like container. This technology is used at the final stage of cooking. As a result of conching, the mass is ventilated and gradually liquefied. This allows you to achieve a higher quality of the final product.

The combination, frankly, for an amateur — non-drinkers and children are unlikely to try this.Personally, I am delighted, a very original taste, the aroma of rum hits the nose almost immediately. The chocolate itself is very tasty, the pieces of nuts and raisins are quite large.

Milk chocolate with strawberry-yoghurt flavor and rice balls. Sweet and enveloping creamy cocoa mass in combination with sweet and sour filler creates a pleasant taste harmony. The tenderness of the creamy milk-berry filling is complemented by the light crunchiness of the rice balls.

Best lists

As it turned out, milk chocolate is preferred by the overwhelming majority of consumers, while connoisseurs of dark chocolate turned out to be much less. It can also be noted that not all tiles from today's rating have an impeccable composition. Now we can summarize and single out the three leaders of today's review, which can be safely recommended for purchase.

Ritter Sport "Alpine Milk" - the standard among dairy

The specimen with Alpine milk is a real hit among milk chocolate lovers. He not only gets high tasting marks from year to year, but also from experts in good standing. According to laboratory tests of such organizations as Roskachestvo and Roskontrol, the product has reliable labeling, is made from quality ingredients and in all respects exceeds the requirements of GOST. The price-quality ratio is more than adequate: in stores the price starts from 65 rubles.

Ritter Sport "Whole hazelnut", dark - the best chocolate with nuts

As soon as you unfold the tile "Ritter Sport" with hazelnuts and evaluate it visually, the question immediately disappears as to how it ended up in the top three. The square delicacy is literally strewn with whole kernels of wild hazelnuts - the case when the manufacturer does not save at all. According to reviews, it is the dark version that is the most delicious and nutritious, but the dairy version is in fact in no way inferior to it - it's just a matter of everyone's personal preferences. It is also worth noting a simple composition without substitutes, vegetable fats and artificial additives.

Ritter Sport "Marzipan" - an exemplary composition of filled chocolate

The variety of fillings of the German brand is amazing, but the version with marzipan turned out to be the safest in terms of composition. Like the previous winners of the rating, this copy has a short list of ingredients without any cheap substitutes. The noble and slightly tart taste of dark chocolate goes well with almond paste interspersed with pieces of nuts.

Tips for choosing a chocolate bar in the store

Truly high-quality and tasty chocolate can bring incredible pleasure and improve the mood not only for those with a sweet tooth, but even for people who are indifferent to sugar. Taste is of paramount importance, but sometimes you can see the whole periodic table in the composition of the tiles. The following guidelines will help you choose real chocolate from the abundance in the store.

• The first step is to check the packaging of the goods for deformations and damage. The consistency of the product must be firm and even, otherwise the storage conditions were violated and the tile either melted or broke into pieces.
• The composition on the label is just as important: the shorter the better. The presence of palm oil is permissible in the filling and does not harm the body, but be prepared to feel the specific taste when using the treat. If the manufacturer has replaced cocoa butter with vegetable fats, such a product cannot have the name “chocolate” - it will already be “confectionery bar”.
• The most useful is dark chocolate with a high concentration of cocoa (at least 55%).It is rich in antioxidants, satisfies hunger well and contains less sugar than dairy. If the bitter taste does not scare you, then the bitter variety will be the best choice of all.
• Real chocolate cannot be cheap, a high price tag is an indicator of the quality of the raw materials used in the preparation. If premium imported samples are too expensive, you should not ignore the Russian manufacturer - some of them produce very high quality chocolate at relatively affordable prices.
• Soy lecithin is often used to make chocolate. If in the list of components it comes after cocoa butter, then its content is insignificant and does not affect anything. If this additive is among the first in the list, then the manufacturer set the task to reduce the cost of production. In this case, rely on your own feelings (whether to buy or not), but remember that this should not be in high quality chocolate.
