Lindt Excellence Premium Chocolate Bars – 70%-100% Cocoa & Fusion – Wholesale
Lindt Excellence is a premium chocolate bar range produced by Lindt & Sprüngli, the renowned Swiss chocolatier founded in 1845 . Launched in 1989, the Excellence line was the world’s first chocolate range to label cocoa percentage on packaging – a revolutionary concept that transformed how consumers select dark chocolate .
Today, Lindt Excellence is the global best-selling premium dark chocolate brand, available in over 120 countries. Each bar is crafted by Lindt Master Chocolatiers using only the finest cocoa beans, with the signature “finer than fine” melting texture achieved through Lindt’s patented conching process invented in 1879 .
