the sweet scrapbook

I had never heard of Solidarnosc (the name means "solidarity") until two weeks ago when I first spotted some of their Liqueurs & Vodka chocolate boxes in Auchan. As usual, I bought an assortment box because I wanted to give each flavour a try. The assortment boxes come in three colours (white, yellow and blue), but I couldn't notice any difference between them beside the main colour of the box. I chose a blue box.

Being the curious creature that I am, I had to look for more information about them. This is what I have found on their website:

Firma Cukiernicza Solidarnosc was founded on 4 June 1952. The beginning of the sixties saw the birth of the product which is the firm's pride, which remains in its product range to this day and continues to attract undiminished consumer interest, Naleczowska Plum in chocolate. 1994 was the date the product which has won most awards was introduced to the market. Chocolates with hazelnuts in cream "Golden Nut"

Combining tradition with modern management methods, Solidarnosc has created a brand thanks to which, today it has a very significant position on the market. The company's most important capital is the quality of its products, which is achieved thanks to modern technology and our own recipes. The products are distinguished by an unlimited range of flavours, and a colourful, esthetically pleasing and attractive graphic layout.

Ice-cream must be my favourite sweet thing. Anything new and having a flavour that I find acceptable is a must try. As soon as possible, of course! So, less than two weeks ago, when I first saw in Auchan two new flavours in their ice-cream range, I knew it wouldn't be long before I tried them. I was right.

What I find interesting about the Auchan ice-cream range that we get here is that part of it is produced in Italy, for the Italian hypermarkets. Those have the text in Italian (some of them also in French) and have a hexagonal shape. The others have the text in Romanian and have a rounded rectangle shape (like this one).
