Tartufi dolci extraneri, sacchetto

They are the original form of Tartufi dolci, born in a small Piedmontese town near Alba, the truffle capital: the Tartufi dolci extraneri. Fourteen deep, dark truffle pralines, wrapped in chocolate-brown paper, come in a pretty, transparent gift bag. Very high-quality dark chocolate gives the extra black Tartufo a special bitterness and intensity. The sweet Piedmontese hazelnuts IGP crackle with every bite. The slightly bitter aroma gives this chocolate truffle a sophisticated character – an exciting truffle specialty that pairs perfectly with a barrel-aged grappa. These Tartufi dolci are a tribute to the precious truffles from the Piedmontese soil. You can find them everywhere in the region's small pastry shops. For years, we have had our sweet specialties produced by a traditional company in the heart of the Langhe, near Alba. These wonderfully decadent pralines contain over 40% hazelnuts. The Tonda Gentile is the protected designation of origin aromatic hazelnut of Piedmont. Its perfect roundness and delicate flavor are characteristic. The hazelnuts arrive at our producers' facilities still in their shells, guaranteeing their freshness. There, they are shelled, tasted, and only then gently roasted in-house. A blend of cocoa mass and butter with pure hazelnut cream provides a wonderful base for delicious, roasted hazelnut pieces, giving the Tartufo its incomparable crunch.
