Sorrento / Galbani string cheese: What seems to be a double-branding marketing scheme for Italy's favorite cheese brand yields a tasty, well seasoned mozzarella cheese snack. The texture is not the most stringy, and the cheese is pretty firm, but overall, it's a product I'd purchase again for its good value. 3.5/5.0

Inside the fairly thick milk chocolate shell is a very sweet honey caramel mixed with nuts. The size of the chocolate is awkward: too big for a snack, and requires a knife to reasonably share with others. Overall, I found the caramel milk chocolate combo to be far too sweet.
