Indulge in the rich, decadent flavor of hazelnut truffles, a delightful chocolate confection perfect for any occasion. These gourmet treats combine smooth chocolate with the nutty essence of roasted hazelnuts, offering a luxurious sensory experience.

Storage Time

Store in a cool, dry place for up to 2 weeks. For longer preservation, refrigerate for up to 1 month, or freeze for up to 3 months.

Temperature

Ideal storage temperature is between 15-18°C (59-64°F) in a cool, dark pantry. If refrigerating, aim for 0-4°C (32-39°F).

Freezing

Hazelnut truffles can be frozen to extend their shelf life. Wrap them individually in plastic wrap, then place them in an airtight container or freezer bag to prevent freezer burn and odor absorption. To thaw, transfer the container to the refrigerator overnight, then bring to room temperature for about 30 minutes before enjoying to maintain their delicate texture and prevent condensation.

Signs of Spoilage

• Visible mold growth on the surface.
• An off, rancid, or sour smell emanating from the truffle.
• A greasy or oily sheen on the chocolate coating, indicating fat bloom that may affect texture.
