Sjokoladepiken (Stavanger)
It is hard to find a chocolatier in Norway. Even in the capital Oslo there is none (except Freia, which is owned by Kraft General Foods). Norwegians usually buy chocolate boxes from the largest national and European manufacturers in supermarkets and grocery stores, however, in some cities you might find small chocolate shops or cafes where you can buy Belgian pralines, or in some cases even Norwegian pralines.
In Stavanger in the south-western part of Norway I stumbeled across a chocolatier called

In Stavanger in the south-western part of Norway I stumbeled across a chocolatier called
Sjokoladepiken, which means ”Chocolate Girl”. They are making their own pralines and truffles; expensive but delicious. After trying some of them I found my favorites: chocolate pralines with goat milk caramel filling, and pralines with passion fruit. Absolutely fabulous!

I can recommend this chocolatier to anyone visiting Stavanger, Norway. I have just been brought back a selection of their handmade chocolates and they have all been very good and quite unique. Nice focus on Norwegian flavours, use of cloudberry, lingonberry, forest fruits, goatsmilk, yoghurt.Good quality chocolate used too but I do not know what it is.Not much on their web site yet but here it is: http://www.sjokoladepiken.no/meny.php
