Harry & David Truffles
November 29, 2010
Harry & David is a large direct marketing and e-commerce company that sells many edible products, including chocolate.
Harry & David may be best known for their gourmet fruit and gift baskets. Recently, I sampled a bag of gold foil wrapped chocolate truffles from a gift basket.
They looked good on the outside, meaning the packaging was nice. But once opened, I saw that they had been taken over by bloom – perhaps stored in a place that with fluctuating temperatures. I can’t imagine it myself, but could it have been the last thing left in the gift basket???
Since I know that bloom is only unappealing in appearance and completely safe to eat, I ate it of course! The chocolate coating was dark, with bold cocoa notes and the chocolate center was a slow melting center of velvety smoothness.
The overall experience was good, but not my favorite in terms of truffles. My first choice is a fresh truffle with a made-from-cream ganache center. I enjoy the ganache type much more than the coconut oil melt-a-way types of truffles.
Still, the chocolaty flavor was nicely balanced with soft nutty notes. These truffles would make a great gift to the chocolate lover in your life – provided you don’t leave it in the gift basket too long!
