Truffles By K’s Matcha Truffle Chocolates Honest Review
January 11, 2021
Truffle by K has been around for close to 4 years, which is always a pretty good indicator of quality when it comes to the food scene in Metro Manila. So when I got one for Christmas, I was pretty excited to try – especially because it came in one of my favorite flavors, MATCHA!
Verdict: Truffle By K’s chocolates pack a punch!
When I was younger, I thought chocolate truffles referred to the same truffles that I loved on my pasta. I was a bit confused how that would be the case as I’ve never smelled it on the divine chocolate truffles I’ve eaten. Neither did those chocolate have the same garlick-y truffle flavor I have come to associate with the word truffle. To this day, I’m still not sure why they’re called chocolate truffles because they sure don’t contain actual truffles! Some people have guessed that it might be because they kind of look like truffles, the raw mushroom ones before they’re processed, since chocolate truffles are little and brown and round. Oh well, who knows? All I know is…. chocolate truffles are super yummy AND they pretty contain only two ingredients: chocolate AND cream
In Truffle by K’s place, it also has a generous mix and dusting of matcha powder. I was a bit worried that matcha flavored chocolate was simply a misnomer, and that we’d only get a moderate dusting of matcha at the top. But Truffle by K surprised me, because the chocolate truffle itself is fairly oozing with matcha! Very generous indeed. I highly recommend.
