About this product
Deep, Decadent, and Intensely Satisfying.
The Mandrile Melis Dark Chocolate Truffle is pure indulgence for lovers of rich, sophisticated chocolate. Crafted in Piedmont by master chocolatiers with decades of experience, this truffle is built on a luxurious blend of high-percentage dark chocolate and smooth hazelnut paste, enveloped in the signature dark cocoa dusting that defines the Mandrile Melis truffle range. Dense, velvety, and wonderfully aromatic, it offers a mature, refined chocolate experience that lingers long after the last bite.
Unlike shell-and-core pralines, this truffle is entirely homogeneous, a silky paste that melts slowly on the tongue. The dark chocolate brings depth, complexity, and a gently bitter edge, while the hazelnut paste softens the structure and adds a warm, roasted sweetness. Together they form a truffle that is at once bold and comforting — intense yet impeccably balanced.
The moment you bite into it, the cocoa opens with a rich, aromatic burst, followed by waves of dark chocolate intensity and hazelnut warmth. The interplay is indulgent, layered, and satisfying, with the cocoa dusting adding an extra whisper of sophistication. This is a truffle designed for slow appreciation: the kind you savour after dinner, pair with a drink, or offer as part of a thoughtfully curated gift.
Why we love it:
Because it’s a dark chocolate lover’s dream — intense, elegant, and beautifully balanced. The high cocoa content gives it depth and character, while the hazelnut paste adds creaminess and warmth. The texture is silky but substantial, the flavour long and complex, and the cocoa dusting ties everything together with finesse. A luxurious, grown-up treat that elevates any moment.

Tasting notes
Appearance
Deep cocoa-brown exterior, generously dusted with dark cocoa for a matte, velvety finish.
Palate
Silky and dense, with layers of intense dark chocolate that dissolve slowly into hazelnut richness. Beautifully balanced between bitterness, sweetness, and nutty depth. Creamy but structured, indulgent but refined.
Aftertaste
Long, warming, and sophisticated: lingering dark cocoa, soft hazelnut notes, and a gentle roasted finish with a whisper of vanilla-like warmth.
Serving suggestion
Indulge with intention:
- Espresso or Strong Coffee: The bitterness of both enhances the dark chocolate’s complexity.
- Red Dessert Wine: Recioto, Porto, or Banyuls deepen the cocoa richness beautifully.
- After-Dinner Pairings: Perfect with aged rum, amaro, or a small glass of whisky (sherry cask works beautifully).
- Fruit & Pastry: Try with orange zest desserts, almond biscuits, or dark fruit compote.
- On Its Own: Let each piece melt slowly for maximum intensity and aromatic depth.
A refined choice for evening desserts, gifting, or elevating a simple moment with something truly special.
