Dark Chocolate & Piedmont Hazelnut Truffles with Ibiza Sea Salt – 200g

These dark chocolate truffles marry three regions in a single bite: Belgian-quality cocoa, hazelnuts from Piedmont's renowned orchards, and finishing flakes of Ibiza's mineral-rich sea salt. The salt sharpens the chocolate's depth without turning savory — a sophisticated play of sweet, nutty, and briny that lingers on the palate.

About this product

Each truffle is hand-rolled and dusted with cocoa powder, offering a tender ganache center with finely chopped hazelnut pieces. The Flor de Sal de Ibiza, harvested by traditional methods, provides a subtle crystalline crunch and salinity that cuts through the richness. This is chocolate for tasting, not snacking — the kind you offer with coffee or pair with a glass of amontillado.

How to enjoy

• Serve at room temperature (around 20°C) so the ganache achieves its silken texture.
• Pair with a glass of dry sherry, aged brandy, or strong black coffee.
• Gift-wrap as a gourmet present — the flavor combination appeals to seasoned chocolate lovers.
• Store in a cool place away from direct sunlight to preserve the delicate salt finish.

⭐ Why we love this

This truffle embodies Spain's mastery of salt as a flavor amplifier — Ibiza's Flor de Sal is harvested by hand using centuries-old methods, and here it acts as a flavor bridge rather than a garnish, elevating the chocolate's cocoa notes without overwhelming. It's a distinctly Spanish approach to sophistication: knowing that a pinch of sea salt transforms good chocolate into an experience.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Serve with a glass of aged Amontillado or Palo Cortado sherry — the wine's nutty, oxidative character mirrors the hazelnut and echoes the salt's mineral quality. For a non-alcoholic option, pair with a strong espresso or cortado to cut through the ganache's richness.

📍 From Spain

The sea salt comes from Ibiza, where the Mediterranean's mineral-rich waters and the island's centuries-old salting tradition produce one of Spain's most prized finishing salts. El Corte Inglés sources this with Piedmont hazelnuts and Belgian cocoa to create a modern Spanish confection that celebrates regional ingredients across borders.
