Two delicacies that are not the same, although both are made with high-quality chocolate, have characteristics that make them unique. At Let's Chocolaat, we explain it to you in simple terms.
Chocolate truffles have a creamy ganache center (a mixture of melted chocolate with cream and butter). Their name comes from their resemblance to truffles, the underground mushrooms so prized in gastronomy.
What makes a truffle special is its soft, melt-in-the-mouth texture. When you bite into a truffle, the inside practically melts in your mouth. On the outside, they are usually covered with cocoa powder, shredded coconut, crushed nuts, or a thin layer of chocolate.
Traditional chocolates have a solid chocolate outer layer that acts as a shell. This coating is firm and crunchy when you bite into it, and inside you will find the filling, which can be of multiple flavors: praline (nut paste), caramel, liqueur, fruit, different flavored creams, or even more chocolate.
Chocolates are usually molded into precise shapes (squares, circles, etc.), with shiny finishes and elegant decorations. The experience of eating them is unique: first you feel the crunch of the outer chocolate, and then you discover the creamy or liquid filling inside.
Now that you know the difference, in our online store you will find both chocolates and handmade truffles, each made with quality ingredients for you to enjoy at any time. The best part? You don't have to choose. You can enjoy both and discover which one you prefer depending on the moment.
