#ARTISAN CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES PROFESSIONAL#
These are safe, middle-of-the-road chocolates that are probably suitable as professional gifts. But they’re flavored with a lighter hand than some of our picks. The square chocolates house a mix of French-inspired ganaches-including plenty of boozy options, like Macallan whisky and green Chartreuse. Burdick Signature Chocolate Assortment, which came in a wooden box, was well received. If you like a variety of flavors, but with a more subtle approach: The L.A. In our latest test, we found that when it came to flavor and texture, these chocolates were outclassed by our current picks. And the packaging, reminiscent of brown pebbled leather, is luxurious but understated. The fillings are chocolate-heavy, and they don’t range beyond pralines and a couple of fruit-infused ganaches. If you’re looking for an upscale but conservative box: La Maison du Chocolat’s Coffret Maison Dark and Milk Chocolate offering was a previous pick for anyone seeking a premium yet tame chocolate selection. And it was entirely unlike the Ambanja, Madagascar truffle, which sang with the promised essence of pineapple. The Maya Mountain, Belize truffle was indeed bright and fruity, with prominent strawberry flavor. Our panelists found the chocolates to be true to their descriptions, sometimes uncannily so. One might wonder how much the power of suggestion dictates the experience (does the Maya Mountain, Belize bonbon really have notes of “European drinking chocolate and strawberry coulis”?), but the proof was in the fillings. A pamphlet supplies evocative characterizations of each one, complete with harvest date. Though these truffles are all ostensibly the same flavor (chocolate), what’s remarkable is that they taste discernibly different. Each bonbon is a uniform, Brutalist cube filled with ganache made with chocolate sourced from one of five distinct locales, from Madagascar to Belize (a bonbon’s coating is the same single-origin chocolate as the filling). Why they’re great: It only makes sense that one of America’s premier bean-to-bar chocolatiers would put out outstanding truffles that showcase the nuances of single-origin chocolate.
