CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES
Jinju Patisserie, Portland
All were made by Jin Caldwell, an award-winning chocolatier. #jinjupatisserie Since I’m savoring just one a day, I’ll update as I eat. 1.The Matcha Tea had a gentle, true matcha flavor. It’s organic Japanese Matcha powder & jasmine tea blended with local cream & white chocolate.
2. Lavender is made with dark milk chocolate ganache infused with local lavender flower & honey. The chocolate was rich & smooth. It definitely tasted of lavender & had a little sharpness to it, maybe from fresh lavender?!
3.Yuzu Lime has yuzu purée from Korea/Japan, infused with lime zest blended with Valrhona white chocolate. True lime flavor with a touch of yuzu brightness coming through the delicate creamy white chocolate. Fin.
4. Citrus is lemon-infused white chocolate ganache blended with Limincello in a dark chocolate shell. So beautiful in flavor & texture. Yet another delicate bonbon. I taste the lemon & limoncello, which adds a little zip. I look forward to the yuzu lime, but am sad it’s the last one.😭
