How To Choose Champagne Truffles

By Marissa Velazquez


Some things people associate with luxury. Champagne is an excellent example of this. Chocolate is also something people appreciate as a treat. The two combine excellently to form champagne truffles. If you want to know how to find the best ones it helps to know what you are looking for!

The first thing to consider is your budget. This will determine where you go to buy the truffles. You can get a number of factory produced items from supermarkets that will look good but may not have the same depth of flavour from someone who is a specialist chocolatier.

If you are looking to compare supermarket brands then you should look up reviews and taste tests online. Most national newspapers and specialist magazines will have at some point done a taste test for truffles. You should note who is doing the testing as a lot of professional tests are done by professional tasters and chefs.

There is also the champagne. In some cases this may be a genuine addition. Other products may use a flavouring that makes the product taste like alcohol has been added to the product. This may be best for people who want the taste without necessarily wishing for the alcoholic content. It may also depend on the time of day you are serving of them as well, the alcoholic option probably best suited for evening meals while an artificial option may be better if you are having a meal at lunch time.

Another option is to go to a store that does handmade or chocolates that can be purchased one at a time. This will give you a few more options. Furthermore if it is a company that makes their own handmade chocolates then they are more likely to know the best products that are appropriate for your particular circumstances.

There is also the consideration of the alcohol content. A larger amount of alcohol will be better to suited to dinner parties or being served in the evening. Alternatively you may want a truffle with the flavour without necessarily having the alcohol content. What you choose depends on what you feel is appropriate as some people will prefer the stronger taste of plenty of real alcohol while other people will just want a small amount to get the flavour but without it being overpowering.

A lot of websites, newspapers and other media have reviews and taste tests. This will make it easier to narrow down the brand names. Equally you may want to go to an independent store so that you can sample some for yourself. This will make it easier to choose something that you know your guests or whoever you are buying the truffles for will enjoy. Furthermore it is possible to add ribbons, photos or other touches to a presentation box to make it seem extra special.

In short when looking for champagne truffles it helps to do a bit of research. This includes reading reviews and taste tests as well as your own. Look online to see what is available near you and to find the ideal product to suit your personal requirements. With the right approach you can make you, your guests or another lucky person very happy!
