Today
is National Truffle Day! Truffle can't believe she wasn't asked to be the
official representative.
May
2, 2020 is National Truffle Day
It’s
National Truffle Day! According to legend, a man named Louis Dufour invented
the chocolate truffle in Chambéry, France in 1895. A few years later, Antoine
Dufour opened the Prestat Chocolate Shop in London. Historians believe this
chocolate shop was solely responsible for popularizing chocolate truffles in
England (and beyond), but the relationship between Louis and Antoine is
uncertain. Fun fact: Roald Dahl, the author of Charlie and the Chocolate
Factory, was a huge fan of Prestat truffles!
The
first recipes for chocolate truffles appeared in the 1920s. Today there are
three main types—American, European, and Swiss. Each type of truffle has a
slightly different twist, but they all include a creamy ganache filling and a
topping like cocoa, coconut, or drizzled chocolate.
To
celebrate National Truffle Day, stop by your local candy shop and pick up a
variety of delicious chocolate truffles!
Or,
you could stop by and give your favorite floofy Truffle and hug and a kiss!
