The sweet, delectable history of the Tartufo Dolce Nero

There are only a few desserts as well known as this Italian truffle speciality: The Sweet truffle originate in the city Alba in the Italian region Piedmont. Tartufi dolci have been known there since the 18th century. But what do truffle chocolates actually have to do with Truffles to do?

What makes the classic

The main difference between Tartufo dolce nero and other varieties of tartufo lies in the ingredients. While the traditional chocolate truffle consists of regular chocolate, cocoa and hazelnuts, Tartufo Dolce Nero contains darker chocolate and a higher cocoa content.

The chocolate is melted and mixed with the hazelnut pieces and hazelnut paste until a smooth mixture is formed. Finally, the chocolate truffle is pressed into its mould, dusted with cocoa powder and lovingly packaged by hand.

You should store the Tartufi Dolci Neri in a cool, dry place away from direct light (up to max. +18° C).

The secret ingredient: especially dark chocolate and looooads of cocoa

One of the most important characteristics of the classic is the use of dark chocolate of the finest quality.
