Maresa Volante is always there to pitch in when the orders get crazy in Luscious land—her truffle dipping skills are unparalleled. When she's not covered in chocolate, she's often covered in clay. She's made a beautiful collection of handmade porcelain containers modeled on the rustic cardboard containers fruit is often sold in at farmer's markets. Because the Locavore Box contains ingredients straight from Hudson Valley farms, it was a natural fit.
When the truffles have been enjoyed, the porcelain container is perfect for holding keys, fruit, or whatever your heart desires.
