Here to separate the good eggs from the great eggs, we’ve tasted the Easter treats from the UKs favourite retailers. The 2022 eggs range from the innovative to the slightly baffling but the good news is there’s great options here for every taste and budget.
Autore Milk Chocolate Egg with Pistachios, £19.70 – Delicaro
Upper crust food merchant Delicario is selling a selection of eggs made by Campaian cocoa ultras Autore Chocolate. This is the sort of website where you can buy Japanese beef that was pampered to death and special tuna fed exclusively on truffles (probably) so expectations are high.
The thick, milk chocolate comes with a generous pebble-dashing of Bronte pistachios, nuts of protected origin grown on the slopes of Mount Etna. The chocolate isn’t overly complicated but it’s creamy and decadent and nostalgia-inducing in the way only sweet milk chocolate can be, so no complaints there. The depth and textural contrast provided by the pistachios – which taste exactly as fancy as you’d want them to – add up to a seriously satisfying experience.
