Can’t wait until you come to Norway? Buy Freia Firkløver Milk Chocolate here (Etsy) Stratos Chocolate bar The Kvikk Lunsj chocolate bar consists of four rectangular wafers covered in milk chocolate. The wafers can be split apart, so that you can easily share. During a year, the average Norwegian consumes nine Kvikk Lunsj chocolates, and it is especially popular during Easter when Norwegians head to the mountains to ski. Each year, 50 million bars are produced. In the factories, the cocoa beans are used to produce, among other things, cocoa powder, cocoa mass, cocoa butter and chocolate. The cocoa beans are crushed and the shell is removed from the core. Nestle, maker of KitKat, has argued in European courts since 2002 that it has the right to trademark the shape. The courts disagreed as KitKat isn't commonplace cross the continent. Freia couldn't buy that kind of publicity.I will have caused outrage among my Norwegian readers for not starting with Freia's Kvikk Lunsj, the most iconic chocolate in Norway. It has such status because it's synonymous with the one true love of all Norwegians: the outdoors. If you’re traveling to Norway I’d recommend you to try out some delicious Norwegian chocolate. Here are three types from Freia, which are famous for their Melkesjokolade (milk chocolate) and Kvikk Lunsj. I’ve also listed Stratos and Smash from Nidar, one of the largest distributors of sweets to Norwegians. I think it's fair to say that Freia is Norway's most famous chocolate brand. For one thing, the illuminated sign on Karl Johans gate gets captured in so many photographs. There has been a Freia store on Karl Johans gate since 1913.

I'm told some people nibble away the chocolate and other layers leaving the jelly to the end. Now while I used to do the same with Jaffa Cakes, I can't imagine doing that with Troika. I'd love to know if any of you do!

Did you know that you can buy most of these online? I’ve posted links below so keep on reading, and enjoy that Norwegian chocolate! Kvikk Lunsj Chocolate Freia melkesjokolade was created in 1905 by the newly hired manager Johan Throne Holst (1868-1946). When he took over management, he realized that there was a potential market for edible milk chocolate, in addition to the dark chocolate and other minor products Freia were producing at the time. It became a success. However, it was not until the 1920s that regular people had the money to buy chocolate, as it was a luxury product at the time. The chocolate is consistently marketed to create national romantic associations - as the essence of everything that is Norwegian. When the cocoa fruit is ripe and ready for harvesting, it has a color that varies between reddish brown and yellow. The color can be reminiscent of melon. Each fruit contains 30-50 cocoa beans (seeds) which in shape and size look like almonds.
