How To Choose Champagne Truffles

By Marissa Velazquez


There are certain sweet treats that are considered luxurious. One of the most tempting is champagne truffles. There are a wide array of companies that produce them so it helps to know how to find the best ones that will make the perfect gift or something delicious to finish off a dinner.

There are a number of different types and what you choose depends on circumstances and personal preference. The first thing to establish is the kind of chocolate the truffle is made from. Milk or white chocolate are probably most appropriate for people who favour a sweeter flavour and a creamier texture.

For example when it comes to supermarkets and big name manufacturers the most expensive is not necessarily the best. Some smaller name supermarkets and manufacturers score better on blind taste tests. This is why it helps to do a bit of research before buying your truffles.

Another thing to consider is context. For example some people have sweeter tastes and therefore white or milk chocolate versions are probably best. However be wary that the person you are buying them for is not diabetic or lactose intolerant. Fortunately there are products available for them too!

You can find a number of reviews and taste tests online. This is best suited to you if you are on a budget and are looking at supermarkets or big name chocolate brands. It is often possible to get some high quality products for not that much money if you know where to look.

An advantage of using an independent company is that you can get a more personalised approach. This is particularly useful if you want to buy someone a gift. Often additional personal touches will show that you have put the additional thought into the gift that can make all the difference.

For example a lot of independent chocolate shops will be happy to put their chocolates in a presentation box. This can often make a massive difference turning a nice gift into something particularly special looking. A gold box may seem like a small touch but this can make the gift look that little bit more enticing! Adding ribbons in a colour that they like or photos also make the gift a little bit more personal.

In simple terms it helps to carefully research champagne truffles both in terms of the flavour and the quality of the brand involved. Ideally this research will include taste testing as well as online or print reviews! Look online to find out more about major brands as well as independent stores to find out the ideal truffles for a personal gift or something delicious to truly finish off a luxurious dinner party.
