Ordering Info & Chocolate Care
If you are highly allergic to nuts, lagusta's luscious truffles are not for you, as little nut pieces find their way into everything during truffle time.
Caring for your chocolates
- Very important! For best flavor and texture, bring chocolates to room temperature before eating.
- Like most foods, truffles and bonbons are better when fresh.
- Truffles will keep 1-2 weeks at cool room temperature, one month in the refrigerator, or two months in the freezer.
- The Raspberries de Pizan and Coconut Pyramids are made with rather perishable ingredients, and should be eaten or frozen within one week. The Peanut Butter Cups and Peppermint Patties will keep three weeks in the refrigerator and can be frozen for up to four months. The Vandana Shivas and Furious Vulvas can be kept at room temperature for up to six weeks or frozen for up to four months.
- If possible, the flavor of all chocolates is best when kept at cool room temperature. Our chocolates are never ever refrigerated before they get to you. There is something special about a truffle, especially, that has never been refrigerated—I really believe that the fewer temperature changes the chocolate is subjected to, the better the taste.
- That said, chocolates store beautifully in the freezer, so if you're thinking of buying a few, why not buy a few more?
Ordering Information
- If you are placing an order to be delivered to New Paltz, NY please email your order to chef@lagustasluscious.com and we will hand-deliver your truffles for free. Ordering over PayPal will incur shipping charges.
- Our chocolates are shipped out on Fridays and Saturdays. If we receive your order by Wednesday, we will ship your chocolates out that week.
- We ship Priority Mail (3-5 days shipping to most areas) to ensure speedy delivery of fresh and uncrushed chocolates. If you are shipping your chocolates to a destination over 65°F, we recommend adding a Cold Pack to your order ($2.95 plus 2-day shipping). We will ship your order via 2-Day Airmail and will pack it with reusable ice packs. We can't guarantee that your chocolate will arrive unmelted, particularly in very warm climates or if the package sits on a hot doorstep all day, but it will cut the risk of melting. Our ice packs are reusable: just refreeze them!
- Regretfully, if you do not provide a correct address and thus your truffles do not get to you, we cannot resend the same truffles back to you because they will have suffered a significant decrease in quality. Be sure the address in your PayPal account or email is correct!
- We do not ship out of the continental US. Not because we love the US so much, we're in fact rather ashamed of it, it's just where we happen to be.
- If you select the gift wrapping option, we will wrap your chocolates with 100% post-consumer recycled paper and biodegradable (compostable!) ribbon. The wrapping paper has a lovely black and white lark pattern on it, and the ribbon is a rich, lustrous black grosgrain. If you do not select the gift wrapping option, we will wrap your chocolates in our 100% post-consumer recycled kraft logo paper, which is also pretty cute, just not as dressy. As always, a handwritten note is free, just include the text in the "note to sender" box in PayPal when placing your order. We don't recommend adding a wrapping paper order to the Pyramid chocolates, because they don't wrap as beautifully and are already tied with ribbon. One gift wrapping order is sufficient for up to four boxes.
- We prefer payment through PayPal (using your credit card or PayPal account) via the shopping cart buttons on each page, but we will also take checks made out to Lagusta's Luscious and cash upon delivery. If you would like to pay via check, just e-mail to let us know you're placing an order and we will respond with our address. You can also call 845-255-8VEG.
- Hey, we can do special things like hand writing a cute/sexy/strange note to include in your order (like "thanks for paying my bail after that antiwar demo," or "to jacob with love from lagusta"), just email the request with your order and we will write it in our very best pen(wo)manship on a page from our amazingly large collection of fancy hotel stationery from around the world.
- We can make large quantities of truffles for your anarchist unwedding celebration, commitment ceremony, fancy fancy wedding, baby shower, birthday, or any other event when you want a lot of truffles.
