Truffle Junkies uses only the finest available chocolates for all
of our truffles, but the chocolates we use in our Connoisseur’s
Series are something different.
These are truly special chocolates.
Most of these chocolates are single origin, meaning that they come
from the cacao of one particular plantation, whereas most chocolates
use a blend from multiple plantations. When you taste a single plantation
chocolate, you are experiencing the subtle nuances of that particular
cocoa. Every distinct flavor of the cacao fruit comes through.
These
truffles are more complex than any chocolate you’ve had.
We
don’t use these chocolates in our other truffle lines for two
reasons. One reason is cost. The chocolates we use in this truffle
line are extremely expensive because of their rarity; therefore, the
truffles in this line are expensive and are meant for an extra special
treat. The other reason we don’t use these chocolates in our
other truffles is that it would be ridiculous to add any flavorings
to these chocolates. We would be ruining the subtle, distinct flavors
of each chocolate by adding flavors to them. The single origin chocolates
we use in these truffles are so unique and complex that you will think
that we have added flavors to them, but we assure you, we have not.
So, sit back and take your time with these truly exceptional truffles.
Experience the essence of chocolate as you never have before.
**Note: due
to the rarity of these chocolates, each Connoisseur’s Series
truffle will have limited availability. We will try our best to keep
these truffles in stock for you as often as we can.
