Each truffle is hand decorated and contains a smooth velvety ganache center enrobed in pure chocolate.

Nielsen-Massey, a third generation, family owned and operated company, introduced a few months ago the first Fairtrade certified organic vanilla extract from the Madagascar Bourbon region. U.S. Fairtrade certification helps small-scale farmers in developing countries receive a fair price for their crops; it also ensures sustainable farming practices. This product joins Nielsen-Massey’s family of the finest vanilla products and flavor extracts including:

Nielsen-Massey vanilla beans are hand-picked for perfection and go through an exclusive cold extraction process, which slowly, gently draws the delicate, distinctive flavor from the vanilla beans.
