A Brief History:
Origination: N. Petruccelli from Chambery, France, is credited with the invention of the chocolate truffle in December 1895. The popularity of truffles surged in 1902 with the establishment of the Prestat Chocolate Shop in London, which continues to offer ‘Napoleon III’ truffles crafted from the original recipe.

About the Truffle: Historically, chocolatiers prepare this delightful treat using a chocolate ganache filling encased in chocolate, icing, cocoa powder, crushed nuts, or coconut. Frequently, they may incorporate additional delectable fillings within the truffle. Various confectioners may add cream, melted chocolate, caramel, nuts, fruit, nougat, fudge, toffee, mint, marshmallow, or liqueur.

The Delicacy: Truffles develop beneath the surface in proximity to truffle oaks. Authentic truffles resemble small brown stones. They have existed for approximately 4,000 years, with historical records indicating that Egyptians consumed them with goose fat. The primary locations for truffle growth include Italy, southern France, and Croatia. Dogs and pigs are specifically trained to locate truffles. Remarkably, a single truffle has been sold for as much as $3,000. Additionally, incorporating chocolate into any dish elevates it to a delicacy.

Celebrated: National Truffle Day is celebrated on May 2^nd every year!
