With the arrival of the summer, Lindt Italia renews its proposal dedicated to the warmer months and presents two new collections of bars designed to be kept in the refrigerator and enjoyed cold. The aim is to offer a different experience compared to the traditional consumption of chocolate, enhancing freshness, aromas and textures through recipes developed specifically for summer.
The new products, available from July 2026, are the Creation Bars and the Ice Cream Bars, two lines that interpret the concept of summer pleasure in a different way. On the one hand the combinations of chocolate, fruit and citrus fruits, on the other the inspiration from the most iconic flavors of ice cream.
Creation bars: the meeting between intensity and freshness
The Creation line was born from the work of the Lindt Maîtres Chocolatiers and focuses on the balance between the character of the chocolate and the freshness of fruity and aromatic ingredients. The bars were developed to be consumed cold, a choice which according to the company allows it to enhance the different nuances of flavor and the creaminess of the fillings.
The range includes three variants. The Orange Creation Bar combines dark chocolate with the citrus notes of orange, while the Mint version combines dark chocolate, milk cream and mint cream. The proposal is completed by the Creation Limone Bar, which combines milk chocolate with the liveliness and light acidity of lemon.
The bars, in the 150 gram format, are available in Lindt Chocolate Shops, on the brand’s e-commerce and in large-scale retail trade, with a recommended price of 4.30 euros.
Ice Cream: chocolate is inspired by the world of ice cream
The second novelty for summer 2026 is represented by the Ice Cream collection, a line that takes inspiration from the flavors traditionally associated with ice cream and transforms them into chocolate bars to be enjoyed cold.
There are three recipes proposed: Coffee, with white chocolate and coffee filling; Amarena, which combines milk chocolate and a fruity heart of black cherry; and Cocco, where white chocolate meets the sweet and exotic notes of coconut.
The Ice Cream line is distributed exclusively in Lindt Chocolate Shops and on the official e-shop. The 100 gram bars have a recommended price of 4 euros. For the online channel, the company has also set up a shipping system designed to preserve the quality and integrity of the product even during high summer temperatures.
A strategy to deseasonalize chocolate consumption
The two collections are part of the strategy with which Lindt Italia, a branch of the Swiss group Lindt & Sprüngli, has been expanding its offer dedicated to summer for some years. Historically, the warmer months represent a less favorable period for chocolate consumption, and the new proposals aim to overcome this seasonality through products specifically designed to be consumed cold.
With Creation and Ice Cream, Lindt tries to redefine the relationship between chocolate and summer, transforming the classic bar into a fresh and delicious break that recalls the flavors of fruit, citrus fruits and ice cream. A way to remember that the pleasure of chocolate can also find space under the summer sun, as long as it is served at the right temperature.
