Ortrud makes chocolates out of her own passion and uncompromising dedication. These are works of art, made with ingredients of the highest quality and created according to her very high standards. Depending on what is available and what her artistic instincts tell her, she will compose a very beautiful box of her creations, of her own choosing.

I was lucky enough to receive a box filled with two different types of Cognac truffles, one infused with Delamain Très Vénérable Cognac, and the other with Delamain Vesper. As she describes the difference in her own handwriting, Très Vénérable is more refined and sophisticated, while the Vesper is assertive and “edgy.” Both types of truffles take their cues accordingly are potent and magical. Très Vénérable is more subtle and smooth, while the Vesper has a strong kick that then quickly recedes. Two of these little truffles are sufficient to send me to Euphoria land. Unfortunately, this addiction may not be easily sustained due to the high cost and limited production of the goods. All the more reason to want it even more!
