Chocolate Truffle
Impact
Bit of a re-seller offering a wide variety of product. The assortments add up to candy rather than chocolate, while the truffles rep the better side of this shop. Either way, expect decent, middling results.
Presentation 3.2 / 5
over-sized
Aromas 4 / 5
cocoa dominant
Textures/Melt 7.9 / 10
| Shells: | huge snap & strong dichotomy between the enrobing & the ganache |
| Centers: | fully creamed |
Flavor 35.6 / 50
interiors generally under-whelm though in certain cases subtlety demonstrates real skill
Quality 20.5 / 30
Respectable but lacks indentity.
