Travel with Angela Lansbury: Fabulous Fazer Chocolates and Chocolate Factory visit in Finland

Fab chox!

I was given Fazer chocolates in Singapore. Alcoholic centres. Crunchy. Great chocolate. Different colours wrappers for different flavours. gold and green, or gold and red and green and blue wrappers.

The alcoholic chocolate wrappers have letters in various languages about the contents.

Maraschino is a liqueur made from the Marasca cherry. The bitter sweet cherry comes from a European coastal tree.

Chocolate Factory

I looked Fazer up on the web and found they had a factory you can visit in Finland. Open every day of the week.

You can visit their factory shop during opening hours for free. They sell chocolates, bread, cereals, t-shirts, magnets and more. They also have a cafe. The winding path to the factory leads past the trees and bushes which contribute ingredients and flavours to their products, such as chocolate, and sugar beet.

Booking Tours
But you must book a factory visit with guided tour. The fee (at the time of writing, Jan 2019) eleven euros plus the ticketmaster fee.

Where
The Fazer factory is about 40 minutes from Helsinki city centre.

Chocolate Worldwide
You can do chocolate factory visits all over the world. I've been to shops and factory tours in the UK, Cadbury's, in Switzerland, Alprose. Americans lover Hersheys. Chocolate fairs take place in London, England, Perugia, Italy, and many other places. (See my previous posts on chocolate.)
