About the Chocolates Born from a Yamanashi Winery
The item of particular interest to Japanese wine fans is "Rich Fresh Chocolate Truffles Born from a Yamanashi Winery (Red) and (White)."
These are rich chocolate truffles made by mixing cream with wine pomace powder—derived from grape skins, seeds, and other remnants left after pressing grapes during the winemaking process—and enrobing it in Cocoa Horizons certified chocolate.
The cream is said to be flavored with wine, with rum added to create an even richer aroma.
Approximately 1.2 g of wine pomace is used per 1 box (containing 4 pieces) of this product.
