Vegan Truffles

A Guided Tasting of a Vegan Truffle:
We blended a treasured early harvest olive oil with our proprietary 72% dark chocolate and added luscious pockets of fruit and nuts which naturally sweeten the chocolate. These vegan truffles are scrumptiously rich without any dairy.

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?

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.

"My quest in creating as an alchemist is to blend the elemental (beautiful food ingredients) and planetary associations through chocolate that when defined is a transformation into something other than sustenance. In gorgeous food, from the moment it is seen, it begins to elicit a feeling as it enters the body through the mouth to create, in our case, a desired harmonious and transformative effect on the body and ultimately the mind and the spirit’s betterment. 

Over the years, I have used vibrant cacao as the medium for my collections. By combining it with indigenous, energetic plants, I am able to communicate a sense of place, terroir or earth as the grounding home that connects the soul of the story to the people and places it originates with. I’ve made it part of my mission to use only superior sourced ingredients as an acknowledgment of nature’s secret and potent bounty that I have the honor and responsibility to reveal.

For centuries, olive oil has been revered for its holistic properties. It is rich in active ingredients that protect against many serious health conditions. Renowned for its medicinal properties, early harvest olive oil requires highly skilled growers who pick these premature olives from trees at the pinnacle of their taste profile. The olives carry the passion of these growers and the terroir of the land from which they come.

With a taste that is robust and smooth, green and peppery, this olive oil is made with many more olives than most, as these unripe olives produce less oil. This first press has high levels of health-promoting molecules of polyphenols and terpenes that will nourish the body, all while delivering an exquisite flavor.

For those mindful of their health and for those who appreciate an indulgence, this collection offers both."

Peace, Love & Chocolate,
