How To Compare 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 lot of companies that sell this kind of chocolate. This means you get a wide array of options. What you choose depends on your budget and what is most appropriate for your personal circumstances. There is no one size fits all option but sometimes it is possible to find bargains.

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.

This will then help to narrow down these options. It may be possible to get samples in a store or via a company website. If this is not possible then it may be worth getting a small sample for yourself in order to gauge the quality. Remember if you are getting it for other people you have to consider whether it tastes sufficiently of champagne. Some people only want a mild flavour while other people want to taste more of the alcohol when they bite in. This is especially difficult if you have a number of guests so it is often a case of balancing out flavours to suit a range of tastes.

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.

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.

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.
