French chocolate truffles - the original - are free of the distraction of the hard shell. Lightly dusted with a premium cocoa powder, the whole morsel fits perfectly into your mouth. The rich flavors unfold as the truffle melts, revealing the natural complexities of the chocolate.
The Seattle Luxury Chocolate Salon was a success! Phew!
In our last blog entry we invited all of you to visit Intrigue Chocolates and 22 other chocolate companies from around the northwest at The Seattle Luxury Chocolate Salon. The event was hosted by TasteTV.com which hosts various foodie events across the country. This was the first chocolate event they've hosted in Seattle.
When we first arrived there was a bit of a scare - the fire alarm went off! Aaron and I did our best to keep our chocolate out of the sun until the doors opened up and everyone was allowed back inside. Due to the delay though, we had to do a rushed set-up before crowds of chocolate lovers came rushing through the doors. Fortunately Carla volunteered to help for the day, and she was able to hurry the process along. (Thanks, Carla!)
At Intrigue Chocolates, we have chosen to emphasize the freshness and balance of the French tradition. The ingredients are always natural, and organic whenever possible. Some of the most intriguing truffles are only available seasonally, when we can find produce at one of our local farmers' markets. Keep the truffles cool and eat them fresh, while the flavors and textures are at their peaks.
We'll bring the tequila aņejo (aged tequila) and fresh lime zest. You bring the lounge chairs.
