Oh my goodness, I went to France last fall and bought three bars of it. Now I only have one bar left. I love the sophistocated flavor that the sesame adds to the chocolate. I really want to find a place to buy something similar in America. If you are in Europe and see this in the store, try it!!!

I just recently got back from a trip to France and this chocolate bar is amazing! (Literally my French friends and I ate it every day for a snack or dessert). Try it paired with fresh strawberries and a rose wine from Provence – a very tasty combination.

Anyone know where you can purchase this in the US?

In Spain I find cote d’or specialities (orange,pistache and raspberry),but not sesame.. I found it in south France.. why do they not distribute all the specialities? May I buy them online? Thanks in advance.

Is there anyone who knows a website you can purchase Freia lemon ginger Premium chocolate bars. I have searched and have come up with nothing. This is one of the most amazing chocolates I have tasted and can’t believe i can’t get it in the states. Help

@meli: The Freia Premium Dark series is only a re-branding of the classic Cote d’Or bars. Freia only started selling them a few years after beeing taken over by Kraft Foods, which incidentally also owns Cote d’Or.

@Kath: A slight error in your post, the Cote d’Or brand originated in Belgium, not in France. Founded on cocoa beans from the African Cote d’Or by Charles Neuhaus, hence the Elephant logo.

Also they have recently released to limited edition spécialités bars in Norway at least. Both are filled bars, one with Lemon-crystals and a hint of ginger, and the other with ground almonds and figs. Very interesting chocolates!

just for you to now this chocolate (Cote d’Or) is very common in Europe (you can find it in every supermarket at least in France, Belgium etc…

some sites like (Indigeen) http://www.indigeen.com are proposing much more outstanding brands

Zayna, I wish you the very best of luck – use any of your means, methods and wiles possible to bring this block to Australia!

Simon – we’re kind of spooky choco-twins methinks!

Ashleigh – you too are on the same wavelength because the Cote d’Or raspberry has also been eaten, enjoyed and will soon (depending on Uncle Dom, of course) appear on chocablog.

Pam – find or make a friend going to Europe and beg them to bring you back some…unless you’re already from there?

Marie – thanks mate and right back atcha!

Meli – are you from Norway or….? Do you know where Freia is available outside of Norway, because it sounds rather intriguing.

The Norwegian brand Freia also do a fantastic dark chocolate with roasted sesame seeds. It’s also half the price of the other flavours, for some strange reason. We love it.
