Introducing Love Cocoa’s Limited Edition Cheese Chocolate Truffles.
The luxury, ethical brand created by James Cadbury, (yep, he’s the great-great-great grandson of the original Mr Cadbury), has created these unique sweet and savoury truffles for cheese and chocolate connoisseurs everywhere. They’re the perfect surprise way to end a meal, offering a contemporary twist to the traditional cheese board. Available from lovecocoa.com, while stocks last, RSP £13.50/150g tube.
These cheesy chocolate balls feature a cream cheese ganache filling with a dash of alcohol, which is then encased in a milk chocolate truffle shell and hand decorated with dark chocolate to deliver a bitter twist at the end. Presented in Love Cocoa’s signature 100% plastic free and fully recyclable packaging, the truffles also make an ideal gift for the foodie in your life.
Cheese and chocolate may seem like an odd pairing, but partnering the two really does create a culinary combo of sublime pleasure. And it’s actually a well-known pairing in both cheese and chocolate tasting circles. Love Cocoa recommends pairing these indulgent truffles with a light-bodied rioja.
James Cadbury, Love Cocoa’s founder, explains more: “We wanted to create a more playful product in the run-up to Christmas, but one that was still luxurious in flavour. After years developing moreish chocolate here at Love Cocoa, we know that one of the greatest flavour pairings is an addictive mix of salty and sweet notes. Generally speaking, the more distinct notes we can pick up with every bite, the more enjoyable the experience is, which is the science behind this new creation. With these Cheese Chocolate Truffles we were keen to push flavour norms further than the usual ‘sprinkle of sea salt’, and have spent months carefully tweaking the nuances between the distinct cheese note and the rich chocolate shell. We know that Love Cocoa consumers are receptive to trying new products with interesting flavour twists and we think the new truffles will be a big hit.”
And don’t just take Love Cocoa’s word for it, the highly-regarded Academy of Cheese director and patron, Charlie Turnbull, confers: “”Pairing chocolate with cheese is not niche, it’s actually quite mainstream. Chefs have created cheese and chocolate bites and desserts and used chocolate to garnish cheese boards for many years. Love Cocoa have delivered a beautiful bite-sized combo, which is a fantastic introduction of what can be achieved when these favourites are matched together.”
