Alright its review time guys  Grin

I received my order today via express shipping: took around 5 days to arrive from Greece to Canada (Toronto, ON). Yes, I chose express shipping because I couldn't wait to get my chocolates  Cool
I ordered "ION - Milk chocolate with whole almonds" and  "ION - Milk chocolate with whole hazelnuts", and I also received free additional "CHOCOFRETA - Chocolate milk wafer" and "ION - Milk chocolate with almonds". Thanks very much for the free chocolate!

Very, very surprisingly, none of the chocolates arrived broken in pieces. I don't know if it was the thick bubble mailer packaging or made-in-Greece-quality-chocolate that made these unbreakable in transit  Wink

Now down to the part where everyone is waiting for: how the chocolate tastes.
I must say... there is something different about Greek chocolate and the chocolate you buy in your neighbourhood convenience store. One of the most notable things I found about these chocolates is that the almonds and hazelnuts are whole pieces. Unless you buy Lindt or Purdy's- which are both quite expensive chocolate brands- you won't find whole-nuts in your chocolate  Tongue I live in Toronto, so I can't speak for the most of you though, regarding this matter.

Overall, I found the chocolate quite delicious, and I finished around 2 bars within 15 minutes of receiving the mail ( Grin ) and I'm trying to save the last 2 bars for tomorrow.

All in all, GourmetGR is one of the greatest purveyors of fine chocolate  Grin
Nice to see a review. Now I am even more excited for my chocolates 🍫 . They have already been shipped to my country and now they are with the customs! Hope they send it to me soon.
Ill also leave a review as soon as I get my chocolates Cheesy

Edit: The chocolates have been released by the customs, and they must be in the post office now! I just hope that the post office guy don't mess with the chocolates and ship it ASAP Cheesy
