Alenka Milk Chocolate with Extra Milk & Calcium, 2.65 oz (75g)

The face every Russian child knows. Alenka has been made since 1966, and the girl in the headscarf on the wrapper is one of the most recognised images in Russian food. This is the "много молока" version — extra milk — with added calcium.

It is a soft, very milky chocolate rather than a cocoa-forward one: 12.4% whole milk powder and 11.1% whey powder, with cocoa products at no less than 26%. If you grew up on this, nothing else tastes quite the same. If you did not, expect something closer to a creamy milk bar than to dark chocolate.

Made to GOST — the old Soviet state standard, which the factory still prints on the wrapper as a mark of the recipe being unchanged.

Note: this is not the same bar as our standard Alenka 75 g. Different recipe, different factory, different barcode — this one is the extra-milk-and-calcium version from Rot Front.
