How to Experience
A Guided Tasting of an Exotic Truffle:
Our truffles are infused with a healing sound frequency to raise your vibe.
Breathe
Close your eyes. Take three deep, ujjayi breaths. Listen to the space between thought and prepare your palate to experience chocolate.
See
Describe what you see. What is the shape, color, sheen and texture?
Touch
Run your finger against the chocolate, noticing its texture and releasing the aromatics.
Smell
Bring the chocolate to your nose. Close your eyes, cup your hand around the chocolate and inhale deeply.
Taste
Enjoy your truffle in two bites. In the first bite, you are just getting to know the truffle, and in the second, you delve deeper, searching out the aromas and nuances. You become immersed in the experience of the chocolate and the sensations. After you’ve eaten the truffle, take a breath and taste the air. The aroma should have a long, lingering finish that is layered with perfumed notes.

Superior Sourcing
New Mexican Pecan
United States
Sally Harper, a paragon who spread the gospel of organic farming methods bought a young pecan farm in the Mesilla Valley in southern New Mexico with her husband Wilmer in 1986. In the early years, the family worked the farm with one old tractor and a lot of manual labor. As they became more proficient, they found that chemical fertilizers and pesticides were not necessary to produce a good pecan crop. In 1994, the orchard was certified organic, one of only two such pecan orchards in New Mexico at the time. As demand for organic pecans grew, Sally began working with other like-minded pecan growers in the valley to encourage them to transition their pecan orchards to organic. The family farm is now into its second generation as the Harper children have assumed responsibility for the daily farm and business operations.

Inspiration
"My first truffle collection, the birth of Vosges®, and the origin of Travel the World through Chocolate™ lies within the Exotic Truffle Collections. After returning from Le Cordon Bleu in Paris and a trip around the world, I began to use chocolate as my medium to recount the adventures of my travels. After you unravel the purple bow, the wanderlust begins…where do you want to go? Nagaland is vibrant with curry, macadamia nuts beckon to Australia. Relish in Chinese star anise, reminiscent of the forbidden green absinthe of days long past. Open your senses and experience the culture, take a bite and imagine what it is like to stand on the streets of Shanghai. Milk, white or dark chocolate first? I suggest starting with white, but break the rules and follow your instincts. Be a rolling stone..."
Peace, Love & Chocolate,
Katrina
