New sales data from Swiss chocolatier Lindt shows which flavour LINDOR has taken the top spot across the North

The nation's pistachio obsession shows no signs of slowing down - and new data from Lindt has confirmed that chocolate lovers across the North are officially hooked.

Sales data from Lindt’s Pick & Mix counters across the UK revealed that LINDOR Pistachio has officially taken the number one spot as the region’s favourite truffle.

While Scotland, Wales, and the South West voted LINDOR Strawberries & Cream as their top choice, shoppers in the North and South East were united in their craving for the viral pistachio flavour.
