It is the question our Lindt Master Chocolatiers are asked the most. As soon as people bite into the hard outer shell of a LINDOR Chocolate Truffle and discover the creamy melting filling hidden inside, they are longing to understand the magic. Discover the secret.
Explore the secrets behind our blissful LINDOR chocolate
The shell
Essentially, LINDOR is a chocolate truffle. It is made by pouring the finest tempered Lindt chocolate into a mould, before spinning on its axis to coat the inside. As it cools and sets, a delicate chocolate shell is created, ready to hold the smooth, melting filling.
The smooth melting filling
The LINDOR recipe is a closely guarded secret. It includes a rich ganache which is carefully poured into the delicate shells and left to set. This signature smooth, top secret, filling boasts a low melting point which allows it to melt luxuriously on the tongue.... and create a truly blissful chocolate experience.
Wrapped with love
Once filled, cooled and set, each LINDOR is carefully wrapped in our signature packaging. This protects it from the environment and seals in the chocolate’s freshness to let the flavours shine. Did you know that we can wrap 1000 LINDORs in one minute?
Blissful moments
LINDOR is a truly special chocolate that is close to many peoples' heart. Everyone has their unique way of enjoying it. Some place LINDOR in the fridge or freezer to create a chilled 'snap' before letting it melt slowly in their mouth. Others do the opposite and gently warm up their LINDOR so the melting begins before the first bite.
Lindt Master Chocolatier, Thomas, says: ‘The flavour of all our chocolate – including LINDOR – shines when the chocolate is at room temperature. It melts delicately and provides a rich feel to the mouth. But, of course, you can enjoy LINDOR (and all our chocolate) the way that makes you truly happy. Bon Appetit!'
