📜 History of Truffles
Chocolate truffles originated in France in the late 1800s, named after the prized black truffle fungus due to their rustic appearance. Originally made with chocolate and cream (ganache), truffles evolved worldwide, welcoming fruit flavors, coatings, and creative twists—just like the versions in this collection.
🧪 Formation & Texture Science
Ganache Base: Chocolate + cream creates an emulsion.
Butter: Adds silkiness and richness.
Chilling: Allows fat to solidify, making the mixture rollable.
Coating: Prevents sticking and adds contrast in texture.
