KERTASNÍKIR - FOREST CHOCOLATE WITH ICELANDIC PINE
Candle-Snatcher (Kertasníkir) is the thirteenth and final of the Icelandic Yule lads. He comes down from the mountains on the night of December 24th. In the old days, candles in Iceland were made from precious tallow or fat, not wax - they were both valuable and edible. So for a hungry troll-child like Candle-Snatcher, candles were a real treat! Candle-Snatcher would follow children around and beg for candles, or sneak into homes to steal them when no one was looking. He loved the light, but even more so the taste - he’d eat the tallow candles like candy.
The chocolate: Forest chocolate 40% with Icelandic pine.
70g
A very unique chocolate that brings Christmas to your senses. A 40% milk chocolate with pine oil, harvested from forests in Borgarfjordur in the West of Iceland. The pine needles are distilled and the resulting oil used to flavour the chocolate. The pine brings a strong flavour that resembles mint and citrus and the smell is like a Christmas tree.
The chocolate is made with beans from South America.
