There are certain things that people associate with luxury. Most people associate champagne with celebrations and high class. Equally truffles have come to be thought of as a luxury food. Both of these ingredients can be combined to form champagne truffles and the best ones can be a great gift, a personal indulgence, a way of finishing off a dinner party or all of the above!
The first thing to consider is your budget. This will determine where you go to buy the truffles. You can get a number of factory produced items from supermarkets that will look good but may not have the same depth of flavour from someone who is a specialist chocolatier.
For example when it comes to supermarkets and big name manufacturers the most expensive is not necessarily the best. Some smaller name supermarkets and manufacturers score better on blind taste tests. This is why it helps to do a bit of research before buying your truffles.
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.
Another option is to go to a store that does handmade or chocolates that can be purchased one at a time. This will give you a few more options. Furthermore if it is a company that makes their own handmade chocolates then they are more likely to know the best products that are appropriate for your particular circumstances.
There is also the consideration of the alcohol content. A larger amount of alcohol will be better to suited to dinner parties or being served in the evening. Alternatively you may want a truffle with the flavour without necessarily having the alcohol content. What you choose depends on what you feel is appropriate as some people will prefer the stronger taste of plenty of real alcohol while other people will just want a small amount to get the flavour but without it being overpowering.
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 short when looking for champagne truffles it helps to do a bit of research. This includes reading reviews and taste tests as well as your own. Look online to see what is available near you and to find the ideal product to suit your personal requirements. With the right approach you can make you, your guests or another lucky person very happy!
