What Makes Chocolate Truffles Special

  • 2 min read

Celebrate National Truffle Day

May 2nd marks National Chocolate Truffle Day, a time to celebrate the iconic chocolate confections. Chocolate truffles are made from a creamy ganache and crisp dipping chocolate for a complex and delicious chocolate truffle taste. Often coming in boxed assortments, each of these treats is made special by the hands of talented chocolatiers.

Truffles originated in France in the early 1900s and have set itself apart in popularity and taste. Compared to bonbons or caramels, truffles have more flexibility in shape, flavor, and texture.

Ganache is made by mixing chocolate and cream to create a malleable filling. These ganache centers often incorporate liqueurs and natural flavors, changing the flavor profile in subtle ways. After completing the ideal ganache center, chocolatiers can experiment with dark, milk, and white dipping chocolates and embellishments.

The result is a remarkable confection. Bite into the hard chocolate shell to discover a melty chocolate center infused with additional chocolate and various flavors.
