Have you visited a chocolate factory b4?

Yes I visited Finland's very own chocolate factory! The company's name is Cloetta Fazer. When we first reached the place, the aroma of chocolate/cookie greeted us... it was really grrrrreat! I feel that I can just die happily ever after just smelling it.



Picture of the entire factory


We watched 2 videos about the origins of the chocolate and chocolate factory. Cloetta was originally a Swedish confectionary company while Fazer was Finnish... A few years ago then they merged to form the current company. But mostly fazer owned it, because fazer owned themselves plus 40+% of Cloetta! (hope my info is accurate..) The videos were rather lame. Haha... We didn't get to see the real chocolate making process, but nevertheless, it was a super great trip! here are some photos...


We wore this "cap" for hygenic purposes and looked at the showrooms that they brought us.

And we were given free chocolates to eat! :P Really free.... but we cannot bring them out. However, a few people slotted some chocolates into their jacket... I did "steal" some small ones. It was really great eating chocolate like nobody's business. But after awhile I became sick of the taste and stopped eating. Too much at one go can really make me sick. But i still LOVE chocolate, of course.

Pillars of chocolates...




Free goodie bag!


Of course, I bought chocolates at the shop in Fazer.... I was abit crazy and grabbed alot of chocolates. Luckily Daryl stopped me from buying too much. But in the end, I still spent about 30 euros on chocolates. Haha. They are for my friends and family, yesh. Now you all can't wait for the me to come back right? :)

Fazer chocolate is really great. Yum, i love it.
