{"product_id":"bourbon-alfort-mini-chocolate-strawberry","title":"Bourbon Alfort Mini Chocolate Strawberry — 55g","description":"\u003cp\u003eStrawberry chocolate on a toasty wholemeal biscuit, twelve pieces to a box. It's sweet-tart. There's real strawberry powder worked through the chocolate and an acidity that cuts it, and the biscuit underneath is lightly salted. If the plain Alfort was a bit much for you, this is the one that fixes it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eアルフォート ミニチョコレート ストロベリー, the name on the box, if you're matching it to something you saw in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you're getting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTaste\u003c\/strong\u003e: Sweet-tart strawberry over a toasty wholemeal biscuit. There are visible grains of strawberry powder through the pink chocolate and you can feel them as you eat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe biscuit is the tell\u003c\/strong\u003e: this one keeps the plain toasty wholemeal base, the same as the blue original, and that's what lets the strawberry stand out rather than compete. It's lightly salted too, which is the bit that stops a pink biscuit tasting like a children's one.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorth knowing\u003c\/strong\u003e: The pink coating is made without cocoa mass, where the plain Alfort's chocolate has it. It's a real difference in what you're eating rather than a colour change, and it is why this one tastes lighter on the chocolate side.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOpinions split on the strawberry\u003c\/strong\u003e: some people taste fruit and some taste flavouring, and the ingredients list has both: strawberry powder, flavouring, and something added to make it tart (an acidulant). Worth knowing which camp you're likely in before you commit to twelve.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIn summer\u003c\/strong\u003e: It will arrive soft. That's normal for this chocolate, and it's a cosmetic problem rather than a taste one.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAllergens\u003c\/strong\u003e: Contains milk, wheat and soy. Read the pack's own label before you rely on ours.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlfort itself is a staple in Japan: the 147 g share bag was the country's best-selling confectionery for four months running to October 2025. That's the range, not this strawberry box. Bourbon has put out several strawberry Alforts: a raspberry-and-strawberry one, a winter melt-in-the-mouth one, and a Kyushu souvenir box, so the barcode is the reliable way to match a pack you saw. This one is a standing year-round line rather than a seasonal release, whatever the listings calling it a limited edition say. It's the same twelve pieces in the same 55 g box as the original; if you see 73 g on another Australian listing, that figure is wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne box is twelve pieces, enough to find out whether the strawberry is for you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bourbon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48269719732450,"sku":"SH-SNK-0022","price":6.16,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0824\/1312\/5858\/files\/bourbon-alfort-mini-chocolate-strawberry-box.webp?v=1787980549","url":"https:\/\/shintop.com.au\/products\/bourbon-alfort-mini-chocolate-strawberry","provider":"Shintop Trading Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
