Date-Sweetened 9-Piece Truffle Box

DATE-SWEETENED, DARN FINE! Introducing our first ever batch of refined sugar-free truffles, our Date-Sweetened Truffle Box! They have no added sugar at all: just single origin Dominican cacao, dates, and straightforward whole food ingredients. Each box has three Date & Olive Oil Meltaways, three Date Chocolate Cream Ganache truffles, and three Date Caramels. Truffles start shipping May 4th for arrival by Mother's Day! Date & Olive Oil Meltaway The Olive Oil Meltaway has been a mainstay since we started making truffles for our factory retail store. Our go-to olive oil is always the bright and peppery Spanish extra virgin olive oil from La Tourangelle. It’s rich with juicy notes of ripe apricot, which pairs perfectly with our fruity unroasted dark chocolate. In this rendition, ground dates sweeten a 68% dark chocolate made with Zorzal Cacao beans. We blend that with olive oil, pour it into molds, then sprinkle a little bit of salt on top to make it all sing. This one melts like velvet on the tongue. It’s ambrosial, even. No wonder the Romans ate stuffed dates for dessert… Date Chocolate Cream Ganache Here we turned that 68% date-sweetened Zorzal chocolate into a fine chocolate shell and piped in a coconut cream ganache made with vanilla bean. It tastes like a rich chocolate mousse. The combination of fruity and nutty Dominican cacao, butterscotch-y dates, and nostalgic vanilla play off each other beautifully. Date Caramel Last, certainly not least, and the favorite amongst our team, is the Date Caramel. We caramelized date syrup with coconut cream and a touch of brown rice syrup, then piped that into our 68% date-sweetened dark chocolate shells. The proverbial cherry on top is a cute little dried date on each truffle, a garnish with a little chew. Each box contains nine truffles, three of each flavor.
