Champagne truffles are a common European chocolate staple, but almost always paired with sweet milk chocolate. Our organic European dark chocolate is already an ideal blend of bitter and sweet that, when paired with the dry undertones of Champagne, turns the flavor a bit too bitter to be palatable. So how did we create a vegan dark chocolate truffle that strikes the perfect balance?
It starts off as a big (and very heavy!) bag of untempered dark chocolate pieces derived from cocoa beans cultivated in South America, prepped through traditional processes in Europe. Always fair-trade from a small family-owned company in Europe, we specially selected this 70% soy-free dark chocolate and temper it to the perfect smooth, liquid consistency.
And that’s where the real fun begins.
