TASTING NOTES
TASTING NOTES
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.
THE STORY
THE STORY
"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

SUPERIOR SOURCING
Curry Powder
IndiaCurry was first introduced to the British in the 18th century when the Indian merchants sold a blend to their sailors. The sailors could conveniently carry them back home. Once these curries made their way back to England, the rest of the Western world wasn’t far behind in its enchantment with these exotic flavors. We make this parfum with hand-toasted whole spices of turmeric root, coriander seed, ginger, nutmeg, fennel seed, Ceylon cinnamon bark, fenugreek, white pepper, cardamom, cloves, black pepper and blend with the finest Sri Lankan coconut. The curry ingredients are mixed up individually for each dish, then roasted and ground.
SUPERIOR SOURCING
Don’t just take our word for it...
You won't taste a better chocolate or experience in your mouth. We love and adore Vosges!
I ordered these just to have the Funk & Disco truffle!! I’m glad I did! I would order an entire box of Funk & Disco if I could!
As always, Vosges has knocked it out of the park. I look forward to my piece-a-day routine with this collection, a habit that only the quality of Vosges products has brought to my life!
Such interesting combination of flavors, very nuanced, not overpowering. Intelligent. Totally delicious. It’s worth it to pay for the expedited shipping. I spent probably four times as much for overnight shipping as when I ordered with ground shipping, and it is totally worth it to experience the freshest cream in the best chocolates I’ve ever had.
Your palate with these exciting creative balanced and most of all delicious little treats that take you far away from the ordinary
