Summerbird

I LOVE chocolates… so I always love trying different types of chocolates from other countries and seeing how they differ in taste, texture, and design. I was introduced to Summerbird by the food walking tour I did while visiting Copenhagen. While I don’t think of Denmark as a country that produces amazing chocolates, I was certainly keen to try.
This place uses organic chocolates in combination with different flavours. They sell items such as chocolate covered almonds with various flavours such as coffee, toffee, mango, passion fruit, raspberry, and lemon grass. You can also find Truffles filled with different ganache and marzipan. They also sell the famous chokokisses which is basically a chocolate filled with a very delicate filling quite similar to marshmallow. I wouldn’t say this is as marshmallow covered chocolate because it’s delicate and much more complex than a marshmallow. It comes in various flavours including passion fruit and liquorice… Danish folks love the liquorice flavour so you can find many types of chocolates with it.
The chocolate I tried were good in their own right and I can see how this company has begun making its mark in the chocolate world. They have mix different flavours you’d never guess could be combined with chocolate like lemon grass and liquorice. The prices of their products are high as you would find from any proper chocolatier. The chocolate covered almonds I bought was about 45 DKK (£5) or 135 DKK (£15) for 3. The assorted chocolates filled with caramel and marzipan with 8 pieces I bought was also about 135 DKK (£15).
I think this is a great place to buy gift for people to take back if your in Denmark since their chocolates are good with creative flavours you normally won’t find anywhere. Their packaging is sleek, trendy and sophisticated and I’m sure anyone getting chocolates from this place would be thrilled. Word of caution though, the chokokisses don’t travel well and can burst

I first sampled this wonderful chocolate at the Torvehallerne market. I tried 3 different Pralines which all had a very good 70% almond marzipan; my favorite was the egg shaped Blueberry Spurveæg that has a Red interior of blueberry /​lemon ganache of marzipan base in combination with sky blue chocolate. The white Spurveæg with black currant, licorice flavor ganache was good too as well as the last one, called Provence which was mostly marzipan with a candied orange garnish. Later on, when walking around town I discovered that this is actually quite a large company with stores all across Denmark.
