Lindt's range of excellence dark chocolates welcomes a delectable new member to the family.

Shop Lindt Chocolate

 

Lindt started a new chapter in chocolate with the launch of its Excellence dark chocolate range in 1989, presenting chocolate aficionados with the exquisite dark chocolate flavours of Excellence 70% Cocoa.

Now, Lindt’s Swiss Master Chocolatiers have brought Australian chocolate lovers something truly special with its new Excellence Mango & Almond. Peel back the foil and you’re instantly greeted by aromas of tropical mango, balanced by earthy notes of roasted almond and Lindt’s signature dark cocoa.  On the palate, pieces of the finest dried mango burst into life with stunning flavour and enticing texture, in delightful contrast to the delectably earthy crunch of almond slivers. 

Tropical, creamy and harmoniously balanced, Lindt Excellence Mango & Almond is the ideal way to bring a little slice of summer to any season.
