The Rossiya factory was built in 1970 according to the design of the Italian company Carle and Montanari. In 1995, cooperation began with the Swiss company Nestlé. Currently, the product range includes many dozens of Russian chocolate items.
1. All Nestlé chocolate products produced in Russia are produced here, at the factory in Samara. This includes a variety of chocolate bars, candies, Nuts bars, Nestle hot chocolate and Nesquik cocoa.
3. The symbol of the factory is the dome.
4. In favorable conditions, the evergreen cocoa tree blooms all year round and bears fruit all year round. The first flowers appear on the tree at the age of 5-6 years. Fruits are formed within 30-80 years. When ripe, yellow-green or red, depending on the variety, the fruits reach 30 cm in length and weigh up to 500 grams. The pulp of the fruit contains up to 50 cocoa beans. The tree produces high yields starting from the 12th year of life. The harvest is harvested twice a year, the first time at the end
5. This is what a plantation looks like where cocoa beans are grown.
6. I tasted a dozen different candies
7. Ekaterina Burtseva, corporate affairs manager of the branch of Nestle Russia LLC in Samara, spoke about the factory and the Nestle company
8. Next we were instructed on safety precautions at the factory. I must say that a lot of attention is paid to this; before that, I had been to more dangerous industries, not to mention nuclear power plants, and no one had ever asked me to sign a technical safety log.
9. Actually, I expected to see something like this.
10. All employees must wash their hands thoroughly. Each employee also receives a robe, earplugs, a cap and shoes with metal toes.
11. We go up to the third floor, where the process of crushing cocoa beans takes place. Please note that there are bars on the stairs, another safety reminder.
12. It’s very noisy inside, so Ekaterina tells us the main points to pay attention to. Also look at the abundance of various signs and inscriptions. There are a lot of them at the enterprise.
13. I forgot to tell you, in the factory it is forbidden to wear jewelry, except for smooth wedding rings, and women are also prohibited from using varnish and false nails, in general, anything that can break off.
14. Roasted cocoa beans.
15. Crusher – the output is cocoa nibs
16. From cocoa nibs, grated cocoa is obtained, which is fed to a press, where cocoa butter is squeezed out.
17. These are 20kg bars, they will be ground into cocoa powder.
18. Storage of grated cocoa.
19. It’s hard to see, but it’s the same grated cocoa flowing.
20. Cocoa beans – cocoa nibs – cocoa mass – cocoa butter – cocoa powder. In total, cocoa beans are ground into cocoa nibs, from which grated cocoa is made. Cocoa butter is squeezed out of grated cocoa and cocoa powder goes to waste.
Milk chocolate is made from cocoa butter, cocoa powder, sugar and milk powder.
White chocolate does not contain cocoa powder.
Black does not contain milk powder.
21.
22.
23. Mixing all chocolate ingredients.
24. In other words, very cool equipment.
25. Many pipes, handles, and doors have labels like this. They indicate some shortcomings that need to be eliminated to improve the quality of work. Don’t be alarmed, this does not affect the quality of the product in any way; as a rule, comments are written there regarding ease of use. Rearrange something, make it closer, lower, etc.
26. Green door for people, red for carts and electric vehicles.
27. The coolest position in the factory is a taster! Yes, yes, there are such people here!
28. Each batch of product is tasted by a group of employees and checked for taste, smell and appearance.
29. We also visited an experimental laboratory, where all the processes of making chocolate were created in miniature; new recipes and new forms of bars and candies are created here. Unfortunately, I can’t show these shots.
30. Next we go to the Nesquik cocoa production line, or rather, packaging takes place here, because production is quite simple and consists of mixing cocoa powder, sugar and milk powder.
31. Packaging
32. Packaging. This and other pallets will go to a large sorting warehouse near Kinel, from where the chocolate will “scatter” throughout the country.
33. Hot chocolate is being made in the next room.
34. We are approaching the production of sweets.
35. Molds for making tiles.
36. Foil for New Year's snowflakes. By the way, as a child I really liked candies with multi-colored foil, it’s a pity there are no such things now.
37. Assembling boxes for comme il faut
38. “Assorted” sweets
39. Come il faut
40.
41.
42. Workers prepare molds for tiles.
43. And here are the tiles themselves. Everything is simple here, chocolate is poured into molds, cooled and knocked out of the molds.
44. This is a large cabinet with chocolate, because... production is faster than packaging; excess tiles are stored in this cabinet. There are many pallets that are in continuous movement.
45. Tiles are taken from pallets to packaging.
46.
47. And for packaging.
48. Labels are placed on the boxes.
I prefer milk chocolate with nuts to dark chocolate, but even an old woman can be ruined. And since I have such an infrequent guest in my hands, it’s simply a sin not to write a review about him.
I buy Rossiya chocolate very rarely. The fillings are not pleasing. Recently they had a new product - chocolate with marmalade... What kind of confectionery monster comes up with such combinations?) And the compositions are not particularly pleasant.
Well, let's see what came out of this acquaintance? ツ
Initial data:
All sorts of important things: nutritional value, composition, calorie content, manufacturer’s address and website.
This is the first time I have seen alcohol in chocolate. I'm not an expert on ingredients, but should it be there? Already in fifth place?
A Russian dark chocolate bar looks like this:
24 slices (four are missing in the photo) with an imprint of cocoa beans. Everything is strict, concise and to the point. The surface of the tile is shiny, without white spots, which should not be present under any circumstances.
The tile breaks easily, practically without crumbs, with a slight crunch. When the chocolate is natural, it should produce this little crunch when separated. For example, if you break Alpen Gold, you will never hear such a crunch. Especially if it has stuffing inside) Accordingly, “Russia” will be of better quality.
Let's sniff.
It smells like coffee or cocoa to me. Especially if you slightly warm it up in your fingers (yes, this is a real chocolate crash test). I don't smell any vanillin or any other aromatic additives. Although it is included. By the way, I don’t smell Roma either. ツ
Now we finally come to the most important thing - taste.
We send a piece of chocolate to visit the taste buds. Chocolate does not melt in your mouth quickly. There is no waxy aftertaste, viscosity or strange grains. It’s unusual for me to feel this bitterness; I’m used to sweeter tastes. But the taste is pleasant. The taste remains in the mouth for quite a long time - about five to seven minutes. Turning from bitterness into something sour. I don't like this.
I'm not a fan of dark chocolate, so I give it four stars and a recommendation to try it.
❤️ Good day❤️
~Coconut is my love! I haven't tried anything with this fruit. I especially like its smell. I like skincare cosmetics even more than products). I see some balm with this “ingredient” and immediately take it for myself. Let’s take the same cream-body butter, I’m ready to love it just because of the aroma. I also tried a lot of sweets with it. And if you combine coconut with chocolate, it’s heaven!~
~Walking through the supermarket, I couldn’t help but grab this chocolate bar. Moreover, the design is so attractive. I also grabbed the “very milky” chocolate of the same brand that I already loved. Now I wanted to express my opinion.~
- Place of purchase: supermarket
- Price: 39 rubles (on promotion)
- Volume: 90 g
Appearance:
~The chocolate wrapper is white with blue highlights. The packaging has a matte feel to the touch and is pleasant to hold in your hands. Everything looks very attractive, I immediately want to try it out.~
~The wrapper is opened in the standard way, like all chocolates Russia is a generous soul. There are never any problems. You can also seal the packaging with a sticker later, as the manufacturer advises us.~
Calories:
Calorie content 550 kcal/100 g
Tile :
~The tile shines with the brand’s “logo”. Everything consists of 5 rows (2 slices in each). I liked that the chocolate on top was milky, and there was a thin layer of white on the bottom, and inside there was coconut and wafer filling. When I first bought it, I thought it must be delicious. Looks likeit’s laconic and quite harmonious.~
~The slices have a dry white filling. The wafer is visible if you take a bite. The insides are made up of wafer crumbs and coconut flakes. Looks delicious.~
Compound:
Taste
:
~I wouldn't say that this taste is unusual, but it's pretty good. I like to keep the chocolate in my mouth until it melts. I don't like to chew and swallow. Since there are pieces of wafer in the chocolate, it is unpleasant to “dissolve” the chocolate. I still like more delicate chocolates more.~
Result:
~Yes, the chocolate bar is quite tasty, but I won’t buy it without a promotion). I would like to get a more delicate, delicate taste. This sweet will definitely not be on my list of favorites and I definitely won’t buy it on a regular basis. I know that chocolate is not new, but if you haven’t tried it, I recommend it! It's still worth buying, especially if you're a lover of treats.~
❤️ I hope it was interesting. Please pay attention to the review if it was useful. I will be glad to comments. Have a good day!❤️
