Truffle facts The truffle is a small, rich chocolate, usually with a pure ganache center or ganache blended with fruits, liqueurs or nuts. A praline is a chocolate with a filling of finely ground, caramelized hazelnuts or almonds. And a bonbon is a chocolate filled with fondant, a creamy confection made in many different flavors. The description truffle is the word that springs to mind for many people trying to describe a luxurious chocolate. In fact the term chocolate truffle is simply derived from the appearance of a rough round chocolate because it has a similar appearance to the highly prized fungus truffle to be found in France and Italy. As chocolates they will usually be round in shape and have a rough surface. The best truffles will have a single shot smooth filling, that is, not made of two halves pressed together but with an entire smooth, rich, creamy textured filling. In keeping with the prized fungus truffle a good chocolate truffle should be made without compromise, with no expense spared, using only the very finest ingredients. In our opinion the very best chocolate truffles should be enjoyed at room temperature (ideally with a good glass of red wine) and have a ‘melt in the mouth’ quality. |
