Maison du Chocolat truffles & ganaches
Maison du Chocolate Boutique @ Rockefeller Center
Melt-in-your-mouth smoothness, you can tell immediately that these truffles are worth the price in both quality and craft. The ganache is firm as butter, but soft and silky as a feather. Once bitten into, it bursts into a soft wave of complex notes unlike a feeling I have never experienced with other truffles. On a scale from 1 to 10, Godiva is a 3, Jacques Torres 8, and Maison du Chocolat an 11. Perfect balance of buttery and bittersweet, in addition to a deep complexity of flavors beyond ordinary truffles or Jacques Torres. Quality and consistency is remarkable, well worth every penny of the price if you go for the non-plain ones (avoid the mint ones, especially the gooey mint fillings, as minty tastes usually overwhelm the rest of the flavors). P.S. There was one particular piece that was almost orgasmic in taste...I forgot the name but I think the inside was caramel. However, the caramel was not gooey/sticky, but rather incorporated into this buttery, solid ganache. (Looks just like the one in picture above) | Taste: 10/10 $2.50/piece |
