The Crush Collection by Vosges: Fellas, Take Note

I’ll keep this one short and (very) sweet… If you’re stumped for gift ideas as Valentine’s Day rapidly approaches, look no further.

I’ve written about Vosges before, blown away by their fabulously unique flavors, and they continue to deliver with their latest aphrodisiac chocolate collection. I thought their cheese + chocolate blend would hold strong as the wildest flavor but, of course, they’ve soared past it with their KUMAMOTO OYSTER-infused cream truffle. Yes, oysters. Granted, this is one of the mildest oysters and arguably the best (I won’t argue) but still, no one thinks to put them in chocolate! And now that someone has, how can you resist trying it?! 

The Crush Truffle Collection

Kumamoto: kumamoto oyster-infused fresh cream + champagne + 36% cocoa butter white chocolate + edible pearl dust

Absinthe: Chinese star anise + fennel + Swiss absinthe + 65% cacao dark chocolate

Bronte: Sicilian pistachio paste + rose water + 44% cacao deep milk chocolate

Edith: Piper Heidsieck Brut Rosé Sauvage Champagne + 65% cacao dark chocolate + rose water + crushed rose bud poudre

Mamajuana: Mamajuana (a craft spirit made with rum and secret spices) + 65% cacao dark chocolate + chamomile buds

Funk & Disco: banana purée + vanilla powder + 44% cacao deep milk chocolate

Red Fire: ancho chillies + Ceylon cinnamon + 65% cacao Venezuelan dark chocolate

Xocatyl: Mexican vanilla bean + 44% cacao deep milk chocolate

I realize that maybe I’m a tad bit adventurous and slightly food-centric, that not everyone thinks their girl will swoon over an oyster truffle, but I hold firm that this would be a legendary Valentine’s Day gift for anyone. I know that girls like jewelry and shoes and handbags and puppies but chocolate, in its finest form, always trumps. And, a little insight into the female mind, we will give you points for even knowing that this collection exists!

Happy Valentine’s Day!
