Last of the Truffles until fall

Fruit is ruling my palate right now! The following flavors will be available on May 22nd at Let's Talk Wine, for their May wine tasting:

Adamo: Very similar to Sorrento, but with lime. It is an amazing combination
Modena: a strawberry pate de fruit layered with 65% chocolate and balsamic ganache
Beardsely: 70% chocolate and fresh raspberry combination
Duval: white chocolate and key lime juice rolled in crushed graham crackers
Ponce: 42% chocolate, coconut and rum
Roma: a chocolate cappuccino
Paris: classic truffle
Brittany: sea salted caramel dipped in chocolate
Reims: 65% chocolate and champagne
Malaga: 42% chocolate and sea salt roasted almonds
Sao Paulo: 70% chocolate and passion fruit

I will only be doing special orders over the summer, chocolate, the Tidewater heat and humidity just don't get along, well, let's just say my stress level just doesn't allow for it anyway!

I was hoping to focus on bars or barks over the summer, as the shelf life is so much better, but I am beginning to have difficulty keeping a consistent supply of the chocolate that I use from Venezuela. Unfortunately, I think I maybe spending most of the summer sampling other chocolates with different countries of origin to use. I really hate having to change, but a consistent supply is obviously important!

Hope to see you there!
