The soft ganache center contains crunchy caramel bits and a fine pinch of salt – sweet, salty, and with a satisfying crunch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"speakable-definition\"\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eTruffes Fantaisie Caramel\u003c\/strong\u003e take the powdery original recipe from Chocolat Mathez and refine it with Breton-style salted caramel. Crunchy caramel pieces are incorporated into the soft ganache made from West African cocoa, along with a hint of salt that keeps the sweetness vibrant. The red ballotin contains a bag with 250g of these caramel truffles – they are best enjoyed slightly chilled, when the caramel has a delicate crunch. The red decorative box with its French flair makes you look forward to what's inside from the moment you see it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSweet caramel meets a pinch of salt\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst comes the soft melt of the ganache, then the crunch of the caramel pieces, and right at the end, the salt makes its appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe salted caramel brings butter and toffee into the mix, while the salt balances it out, taking the edge off the sweetness. This creates that back-and-forth between sweet and salty, soft and crunchy, warm and savory, that makes it hard to stop eating. After the last bite, the salt lingers on the tongue for a moment, like a soft aftertaste. Oh là là, as the French say – and this time, we have to agree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBreton-style salted caramel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe inspiration is the famous caramel au beurre salé from Brittany, where caramel has traditionally been cooked with salted butter. Mathez translates this specialty into its powdery truffle form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor these truffles, the original recipe of soft ganache and dark cocoa powder is combined with finely chopped caramel and a trace of salt. The caramel pieces account for about 5 percent – just enough to provide a crunch in every bite without overpowering the ganache. Unlike caramel au beurre salé enjoyed with a spoon, everything here remains firm and crunchy because the caramel is in pieces rather than as a soft cream in the center.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA classic from Anjou, since 1934\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe foundation comes from Chocolat Mathez in Châteauneuf-sur-Sarthe in Anjou, where Alaüs Mathez hand-molded the first cocoa truffle in 1934.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the decades, many varieties have been added to the pure original – in the 1990s, entrepreneur Éric Fischer brought new ideas and select flavor artisans to the company. The caramel variety is now one of the most popular and, like its siblings, travels to over 40 countries. Anyone who has tasted the combination of cocoa, caramel, and salt quickly understands why. The recipe has remained the same over the years; only the tin and the ballotin get a new look every now and then.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWith espresso and as a gift\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCaramel and salt are particularly well-complemented by a strong espresso or a milk coffee, as the roasted notes pick up on the toffee. The caramel truffles also pair beautifully alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a glass of cider. The red ballotin also makes them a lovely gift when you don’t want to arrive empty-handed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you prefer it pure, you can find the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/mathez-trueffel-fantaisie-250g\"\u003eOriginal without caramel\u003c\/a\u003e in the gold ballotin; things get fruity with the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/mathez-truffes-fantaisie-cointreau-500g\"\u003eCointreau variety\u003c\/a\u003e, and all types can be found under the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/mathez\"\u003eMathez chocolate truffles\u003c\/a\u003e.
