Smoked Salt Truffle
Compartes Chocolatier - Brentwood, CA
I've had chocolates sprinkled with sea salt before, but not smoked salt. It was something different. The name of the truffle really describes how it tasted to me - a little smoky, a little salty, but just the right amount of sweet from the dark chocolate somehow balanced all the flavors together.

Would you eat here again? 








Great picture!! My favorite sea salt caramels are from Recchiutic chocolates in the Ferry Building in SF, I have recently tasted for the first time smoked sea salt purchased at Whole Foods and loved the concept. Next time I'm in CA (used to live in Thousand Oaks) I'll have to look the place up. Thanks!!
Definitely stop by Compartes when you're back in Cali. There are a lot of really unique chocolates to be found in that shop. Check out my full blog entry about a chocolate tasting I set up there:
