About the bar
This chocolate is Mikkel’s first flavoured bar, with the hazelnuts contrasting with the light acidity of Nicaraguan cacao and complementing the butteriness of Friis Holm chocolate. An absolute delight.
About the maker
Mikkel Friis-Holm’s craft chocolate journey started with an ever-growing passion for fine chocolate. This eventually led him to Central America, where he immersed himself in a project that aimed to identify and evaluate DNA strands of Nicaraguan cocoa beans. He then pivoted from sourcing to making, and Friis Holm, the Danish craft chocolate maker, was born. Mikkel is still fascinated with genetics, and ensures he chooses the best varieties with the highest flavour potential.
The beans
This 50% milk chocolate has been crafted using a blend of Nicaraguan beans from a co-operative in Waslala, in the nature reserve in the mountains of northeastern Nicaragua.

What do other people who've discovered Friis Holm - O'Payo, Nicaragua Milk 50% with Hazelnut have to say?
This bar has a beautifully complex profile, sitting delicately between milk and dark chocolate. The flavor is smooth and rounded, with a pleasant honeyed sweetness—almost reminiscent of linden blossom .The finely crushed hazelnuts are subtle, not overpowering, but they add a gentle crunch that enhances the texture without distracting from the chocolate itself. I do have another bar that I usually consider my favorite, yet surprisingly, this is the one I reached for as my dessert today—which says a lot.

The bar has more of a darkmilk flavour to it, but at the same time lacked complexity. It was quite…boring, forgettable. It’s not the kind of bar I’d come back and buy again. The hazelnut pieces are in abundance and give a nice crunch, but you don’t taste their flavour as the darkmilk taste is overbearing.
