Authentic truffle chocolate 250 dollars each, and can not be mailed, can only be bought and eaten . Some staff admit that the name "truffle" is just a truffle look-alike, and that the center is made up of other ingredients. Many domestic manufacturers have switched to cocoa butter substitutes. The real core ingredients of chocolate should be cocoa butter and cocoa powder. The unique flavor of chocolate comes from cocoa butter. However, cocoa butter is more expensive, so traders replace it with cheaper cocoa butter substitutes. Cocoa butter substitute is made only from ordinary hydrogenated vegetable oil.
Truffles are sold in chocolate stores in France, Switzerland and other countries. Truffle chocolate contains real truffle mushrooms. However, truffle chocolate is not easy to buy because it has a short shelf life. For authentic truffle chocolate you'd better go to Europe. Why are some chocolates called truffle chocolates? If we look up the meaning of the English word truffle, we find that in addition to referring to a fungus, the word also refers to "a round candy made of chocolate, butter, cream and sugar, usually with an outer layer of rum and cocoa powder". According to this definition, truffle chocolate has the word truffle in its name simply because truffles don't contain fungal truffles and it's impossible to taste the fungal flavor in truffle chocolate.
Another explanation for the word "truffle" in the name of truffle chocolate is that it is similar in appearance to a truffle. For one thing, a truffle looks like a freshly unearthed truffle wrapped in dirt. It hides an irresistible flavor underneath its unassuming appearance. Truffle's deliciousness is unmatched by most other chocolates. Although truffles are not as precious as truffle mushrooms, they are also the best flavor in chocolate.
However, this does not mean that truffle chocolates are not refined, expensive, and illustrious. To chocolate lovers, truffle chocolate is good not because it is called truffle chocolate, but because of its rich and unique flavor. The inside of truffle chocolate can be pure chocolate sauce, milk chocolate sauce, hazelnut puree chocolate sauce, chocolate sauce with chopped nuts, chocolate sauce mixed with fruit flavors, etc. The outer layer can be covered with cocoa powder, powdered sugar or chopped nuts. How to mix and taste is knowledge. Then, when we buy chocolate every day, it should be clear that what we are carefully buying is not "chocolate" but "cocoa butter substitute". Cocoa butter substitutes are artificial stearin, which is close to natural cocoa butter in every respect, and so they are also used to produce food products "with the flavor of cocoa butter".
