Premium Kosher Artisan Chocolate Truffles

Someone has to do it and it may as well be us - sample a new line of chocolate truffles! Rachelle Ferneau, owner/pastry chef, of Eden Cake Bakery in Washington DC, recently launched her new line of premium artisan chocolate truffles and KosherEye was delighted to receive a sampling of these delectable chocolate gems.
As part of her pastry repertoire, Ferneau worked with chocolate and was impressed with its versatility and its ability to complement and be complemented by other flavors. Inspired by her love of travel and global cuisines, her journey to incorporate these flavors into one perfect confection began. The result is a selection ? twelve ? of parve premium chocolate truffles that are flavored with globally inspired ingredients: fine herbs, teas, coffee, fruits, flowers, fresh roasted nuts and spices from around the world. Does it work? You bet it does! They are delicious! Smooth, creamy Belgian dark chocolate, and each with a blended, subtle taste of its featured flavor/ingredient.
We received a beautiful clear box of the Around The World Collection. It contained one each of the twelve standard truffle flavors ? with each one nestled in a clear divided holder. In addition to the twelve basic flavors, Dear Coco Chocolates will highlight two new truffle creations each month which will feature the flavors of a selected locale.
Belgian Chocolate Velvet: 61% cacao Belgian dark chocolate + roasted cacao nibs. Pure chocolate bliss; not too dark, not too sweet. A powerhouse of deep chocolate flavor with caramel undertones.
Kyoto Green Pearl: Green tea + dark chocolate + matcha green tea powder. Exotic matcha, whose distinctive scent, earthy flavor and vivid color pair seamlessly with smooth dark chocolate, resulting in a soulful and soothing truffle experience.
Mauna Loa Salted Caramel: Salted caramel ganache + dark chocolate + Hiwa Kai Hawaiian black lava salt. This addictive truffle blends the notes of caramelized sugar inspired by the sugar cane fields with authentic Hawaiian sea salt, and is named for one of the largest active volcanoes on Hawaii.
Milano Double Espresso: Pure Italian espresso + dark chocolate + roasted coffee bean. Smooth dark chocolate with the deep, slightly bitter flavor of rich espresso coffee, a natural complement to chocolate.
