Moving right along through the Winter, it is good to see February make its appearance. Even though it’s strictly a winter month, it is at the tail end of things, so we are making progress!
February’s Seasonal Flavors:
Jamaican Hot Chocolate Truffle – Always a good warmer-upper! Aaron’s signature truffle includes: nutmeg, rum, vanilla, honey, and habanero chilis, just to remind your taste buds who’s boss!
Pear-Lavender Truffle – Fruit brandies are called “eau-de-vie” or “water of life” by the French. This truffle with it’s pear brandy, lavender (Washington-grown), and honey additions blend to give you a hard to describe, yet choreographed taste experience. Sweet and dark, earthy and floral, musky and citrusy, all together.
Damiana Truffle – Aptly presented in the Month of Love, damiana (Turnera aphrodisiaca) has been used as an aphrodisiac in Mexico, Central and South America for centuries. An aromatic herb, damiana adds pleasant bright notes and a soft pepperiness to the chocolate.
R. Valentino – The idea of eating flowers is the ultimate in romantic food. Since ancient times rose petals have been present at feasting tables, both as decoration and part of the menu. The R. Valentino Truffle uses culinary-quality dried rose petals that lend a delicately rosy aroma, with the impression of vanilla and cool sunlight.
Framboise Truffle – One of our more aromatic truffles, the raspberry brandy blended into our deep chocolate base couldn’t be a better combination. A touch of honey brings out the fruit flavor to savor the experience.
Saint Basil Truffle – Ever fresh, ever organic, the basil in this truffle breaks through to give you a burst of green that brightens in your mouth and makes you smile.Place your orders for Intrigue Chocolate’s February’s Flavors and you will be sure to make your Valentine happy!
