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.
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.
Dark chocolate is better to suited to people who are either not a fan of milk chocolate or are not able to eat it. With dark chocolate remember to check the percentage of cocoa solids. A larger percentage will mean a stronger taste. As a good rule of thumb 70 per cent is usually enough for people who enjoy the taste unless you are sure they like the larger cocoa solid content.
It is also worth noting that smaller brands names are not necessarily bad. In some cases in blind taste tests the smaller brands can sometimes outperform their more well known rivals. This is why it often helps to do your research and taste a few of them yourself to get an idea of the quality.
If you are getting a gift you may want to consider going to an independent store. The advantage of an independent store is that they can offer you guidance on the best products and will often be more open to providing a sample so you can gauge which one is best for you or the person you are getting them for. Little personal touches like their favourite coloured ribbons or a photo can often make the gift seem that 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.
