A molten center of burnt sugar caramel, infused with our house-made black cacao sea salt, encased in our proprietary dark chocolate
My first black salt caramel creation was born in the form of a truffle for the Marchesa Collection inspired by the 19th century Italian diva, Luisa Casati. She was one of the first femme fatales, known for her grand parties where she would show up with snakes around her neck. It is also said that Casati was spotted walking the streets of Venice at night escorted by cheetahs in jeweled collars. The black Hawaiian salt and dark chocolate are inspired by my muse's signature dark India ink make up.
Black Hawaiian salt or Hiwa Kai is a blend of sea salt and volcanic charcoal. The salt is harvested naturally in ocean pools that have formed from past volcanic eruptions. The salt's striking obsidian hue is matched only by its flavor on your palate—slightly nutty and smoky—the perfect combination with burnt caramel and dark chocolate.
