Four truffles inspired by our beautiful little mountain town. Each box contains two of the following flavors:

  • Raspberry-Balsamic: Local beyond-organic super sweet raspberries are crushed whole and mixed with tart, rich balsamic vinegar syrup, combined with chocolate ganache, and sprinkled with orange-infused fair-trade cocoa powder.
  • Coriander-Beet: It's not weird, I promise! A coriander-flavored interior is garnished with pulverized organic beets grown with care right down the road from our kitchen by my farmer pal Jessica. For some reason, young kids seem to love these.
  • Fennel-Apple: Freshly ground fennel seeds are combined with and local apple brandy and garnished in pulverized organic apples grown by my friend, sweet farmer Billiam at Liberty View Farm, as well as home-grown fennel pollen. Pictured above. 
  • Blueberry Black Currant: Local fruit and local black currant cordial. The Shawangunk mountains that surround New Paltz have been host to blueberry pickers for a few hundred years, and the tiny wild mountain blueberries that grow there are unbelievable. Here are some pretty photos from when they were our Chocolate of the Month, and here are some blueberry pickin' photos!
