This Japanese Food Product Turns Chocolate Into a Deli Meat Replacement

— December 9, 2015 — Lifestyle
Deli meats and cheeses are a thing of the past now thanks to the creation of processed chocolate sandwich slices that are designed exclusively to make adding sweet topping to a sandwich incredibly easy. The product is similar to a square of processed cheese but with a chocolate flavoring and taste.

These chocolate slices are manufactured by Japanese brand Bourbon and they offer a convenient way to add creamy sweetness to foods in a solid form that is much quicker to apply and easier to shape than chocolate spread. The product is known in Japan as 'nama chocolate' and it is described as having a richer taste than milk chocolate. Thanks to the solid and thin shape, the chocolate can be used in sandwiches, desserts or decoration.
