Located a short walk from the bustle of Pike Place Market, Seleušs Chocolates is a haven for micro-batch, impeccable chocolate truffles. They follow “time-honored French techniques and a philosophy of incorporating the finest of ingredients from around the world” and it truly shows in their products. Their store is also bright with a Versailles meets candy shop flair.
We tried a handful of dark chocolate truffles which included a peppermint, hazelnut, and guava and passion fruit. The dark chocolate is rich with a melt-in-your-mouth texture while the interiors are flavorful and luscious.
I generally gravitate toward fruit flavors and my favorite was the guava and passion fruit truffle. The taste of the tropical fruits came through and the sweet, tangy filling was superbly balanced by the chocolate.
A second favorite was the hazelnut gianduja. The ganache is so well done and again, the sweetness and flavor of the hazelnut matched perfectly.
Don’t miss Seleušs Chocolates if you are a fan of high quality chocolate!
