FAQs: Compartés Chocolate Truffles Collection

The perfect truffle defines the line between texture and taste: a crisp shell giving way to a lush, melting center. At Compartés, we treat every piece as a canvas. Handcrafted in our Los Angeles chocolate factory, our truffles blend bold design with intense flavor, ranging from fresh raspberry purées to deep, complex dark chocolates.

We don't just make confections; we design experiences. Whether you are seeking a luxury gift or a personal indulgence, these are edible masterpieces, synonymous with celebration and sophistication.

What is a Chocolate Truffle?

At its core, a truffle is a study in texture: a creamy, melting center (ganache) protected by a crisp chocolate shell. While traditional recipes rely on a simple mix of cream and cocoa powder, we view the truffle as a canvas.

At Compartés, the ganache is where the magic happens. We infuse our centers with real, fresh ingredients like market-fresh raspberries, Kentucky bourbon, exotic spices, or organic nuts, rather than artificial extracts. This creates a dense, flavorful core that we enrobe in a tempered chocolate shell. Unlike standard truffles that are often just dusted in cocoa to hide imperfections, ours are finished with bold, geometric patterns and custom art, making them visually distinct and unmistakably Compartés.

What Kind of Chocolate Is Best for Truffles?

The best truffles require couverture chocolate. This is high-quality chocolate with a higher percentage of cocoa butter, ensuring a glossy sheen and a sharp "snap." We do not use generic baking chocolate or fillers.

We source premium cacao from around the globe to match the specific flavor profile of the truffle. A tart fruit filling might pair best with a robust, bitter 75% dark chocolate from South America, while a sweet caramel center might shine against our signature creamy milk chocolate. It is this intentional pairing of shell and filling that elevates a candy into a gourmet experience.

The Compartés Difference: Handcrafted in Los Angeles

We have been perfecting the chocolate truffle for over 75 years. In our Los Angeles chocolate factory, mass production is replaced by human hands. Our chocolatiers hand-fill, cap, and package every box, ensuring that the truffle you receive is fresh and flawless.
