The Brussels chocolate truffles - an original and delicious recipe
Chocolate truffles are a delicacy that date back to the end of the 19th century and they came about by accident! The creation of this sweet treat was due to a lack of raw materials and so with a touch of inspiration and the only ingredients at hand, a pastry chef had the idea of mixing vanilla, cocoa powder and fresh cream together. He decided to dip the mixture in melted chocolate and then add a coating of cocoa powder. And so the chocolate truffle was born!
Every year, the Jeff de Bruges teams take pleasure in preparing Brussels truffles. Our Brussels chocolate truffles are made following the original recipe with Ecuadorian cocoa beans that come from our own plantations. These Brussels truffles are exquisitely chocolatey. You’ll find that the mixture used is especially delicious as it is slightly more compact than a classic ganache. This tasty mix is carefully moulded into chocolate with cocoa powder around it. The cocoa powder we use is the ultimate touch to enhance these Brussels truffles, and so we have decided to provide it in a range of flavours to please all gourmands!
A wide choice of chocolate truffles makes a chocolatey powdered collection!
To satisfy all types of chocoholics the Brussels chocolate truffle is available in four different Ecuadorian cocoa powders.
The first is an intense and full-bodied truffle, made of 70% dark chocolate. The second is made of 60% dark chocolate and is delicately flavoured with mandarin. For those with a sweet tooth, we have also created a silky truffle with 34% milk chocolate. And finally, for those who appreciate the combination of sweetness and body, we have created a milk chocolate truffle flavoured with 100% Arabico ristretto coffee. Everyone will enjoy the beautiful texture of each truffle which is like a melted, intense, generously coated chocolate marble. At Jeff de Bruges, we cannot wait for you to discover these four original recipes full of refined, powerful and authentic flavours.
Simply surrender to this delicate, powdery selection that you can find in cones or boxes tastefully decorated with the image of the Grand-Place of Brussels under a star-filled sky.
Chocolate truffles - the ideal gift
When it comes to gifts, nothing brings joy on any occasion quite like a box of assorted chocolate truffles. These items are well suited to the festive season as they have a strong connection to Christmas tradition. In December 1895, a chocolate-maker created these sweets by accident when raw materials were needed. Ever since then, they have become an integral part of family gatherings, with loved ones exchanging delightful presents. The emblematic truffles are one of the tasty recipes that make up the Easter and Valentine's Day classics. These tender, melt-in-the-mouth treats will delight gourmets of all ages on birthdays and can also be shared at weddings.
Expressing affection or gratitude can be done in various ways, but one of the best ways is by giving chocolate truffles as a gift.
These bite-sized treats are a symbol of elegance and refinement. Each truffle is an invitation to share a moment of delectation and pleasure. Jeff de Bruges ensures a meticulous and sophisticated presentation, as chocolate truffles evoke a sense of elegance. Consider giving chocolate truffles as presents to your clients or coworkers. These authentic, distinguished sweets are perfectly suited for business gifts, showcasing professionalism and taste. Chocolate truffles can bring a touch of luxury to themed evenings or wine tastings, allowing you to share the pleasure with your guests.
Chocolate truffles: the ultimate harmony of flavours.
Jeff de Bruges chocolate truffles are sweet treats that can be enjoyed on their own, but they can also be accompanied by other delicacies. Indulge in a high-quality and culinary tasting experience with our gourmet recommendations. There's something for every taste. Cocoa goes perfectly with espresso or strong black coffee, which contrasts nicely with the sweetness and softness of the chocolate truffle. The balance of flavours is simply stunning. Those with refined tastes will enjoy the luxurious pairing of our chocolate truffles with exquisite wines and spirits. Pairing a Port or sweet red wine with chocolate will enhance its richness, while a smoky single malt whisky will provide a bold and adventurous taste. To create a harmonious and pleasurable flavour combination, savour Jeff de Bruges truffles alongside your choice of black tea or fruit tea.
Chocolate truffles are also family favourites, and so why not enjoy them with your children? Have them take turns between eating a cocoa-flavoured treat and a piece of fruit. Strawberries, raspberries and cherries add a touch of freshness and lightness to this delicious snack. Their natural acidity enhances the dark chocolate in a combination that has been tried and tested. Tender and melt-in-the-mouth, Brussels chocolate truffles are always a hit with a crunchy biscuit. Experience the authentic blend of almond, coconut, hazelnut, peanut, or vanilla aromas. There is only one rule, and that is to enjoy them!
