Which Should You Buy?
Heraud is a divisive gourmand. Either it's a perfectly balanced, realistic chocolate and dried fruit dream, or it's a synthetic, dusty, chalky concoction that's far too sweet for its own good. An acquired taste with a loyal following, but definitely try before you buy.
If you're after a gourmand with a bit of a twist, Lineam absolutely delivers. It's an insanely delicious, sophisticated take on sweetness, managing to be comforting without ever feeling juvenile. The popcorn note is a stroke of genius; prepare for compliments.
