The Pink Box
Oh my gosh, this is so exciting. Originally this was going to be the Hudson Valley Box and was going to contain truffles made with local ingredients. But when we noticed that all the truffles had pink elements, we couldn't resist adding our bestselling, beloved (but not exactly local) pomegranate truffle with a rose petal garnish to the box—and the Pink Box was born. I don't want to be presumptuous, but I think you're going to adore it, just like we do.
- 2 Raspberry-Balsamic truffles: Local beyond-organic super sweet raspberries are crushed whole and mixed with tart, rich balsamic vinegar, combined with chocolate ganache, and rolled in orange-infused fair-trade cocoa powder.
- 2 Coriander-Beet truffles: It's not weird, I promise! A coriander-flavored interior is rolled in pulverized organic beets grown with care right down the road from our kitchen by my farmer pal Jessica.
- 2 Fennel-Apple truffles: Freshly ground fennel seeds are combined with and local apple brandy and rolled in pulverized organic apples grown by my friend, sweet farmer Billiam at Liberty View Farm.
- 2 Pomegranate truffles: With rose petal garnish. A little tartness compliments the chocolate nicely - this one is a flavor bomb.

add cold pack add gift wrapAll truffles contain: Organic coconut milkWe use luxurious, organic, full-fat coconut milk, made only from coconut and a tiny bit of a vegetarian emulsifier (guar gum). We are very happy with the richness of coconut milk, and the chocolates do not taste coconutty at all (except for the coconut ones). Oh, and if you're allergic to milk, please know that you won't have any of those "processed on equipment also used for milk chocolates" woes with Lagusta's Luscious—everything in our kitchen, from our virgin-vegan pots and pans, chocolate tempering machine and equipment to, yes, our hands, haven't touched milk in years (in my case, 16!), or ever. (coconut milk, guar gum [a natural emulsifier]), organic coconut butterThe primary fat in our truffles is pure organic coconut butter. At this point, it becomes necessary to talk a bit about fat. Vegans (and others) need fat! if you are eating a healthy diet made up of real food and a wide variety of it, you are probably not going to have a problem with fat. Fat is what makes us feel full and tells us to stop eating, so if you are not eating enough of it, there is a real chance you might be overeating because you never have that lovely feeling of fullness. This is why you need our chocolates!, organic and fair trade dark chocolate (cocoa paste, cocoa butter, non-bone-char sugar, soy lecithin, vanilla).
