Zella Rue Chocolates

I recently purchased a box of assorted truffles from Zella Rue Chocolates. They were easily some of the best chocolates I’ve had. The chocolate was rich, smooth, and delicious. The flavors were quite varied and unique, such as the caramel apple cider, or the passion fruit, and I enjoyed them all very much, but my favorite was the salted caramel. As a previous reviewer said, they contain no preservatives, so don’t wait around to eat them. As if you would. Homemade chocolate is leaps and bounds better than the chain chocolate and I’d know since I’m right next to Canonsburg. You Pittsburghers will get that. So buy some chocolates from Zella Rue and treat yourself. You won’t be disappointed.

No way can you job these chocolates.
I recently received some of Zella Rue’s chocolates as a gift for Valentine’s Day. The chocolates arrived in a nice little box and were in perfect shape. I was instructed that because the chocolates contain no preservatives that they need to be eaten post haste. Not a problem. I got four different flavors of ganache all were acceptable to my palate. The chocolate itself tasted excellent and I am certain I would enjoy noming it down without the delicious ganache. It was fresh tasting, like chocolate should taste. None of that chemical taste you get from just about ALL other chocolates. And you can rest assured it’ll be fresh. Onto the ganache! My favorite was the salty salty caramel. The caramel was thick and rich and of course salty like me. My wife was a big fan of the Manuka honey, it too was thick and had an amazing honey taste. I eat fresh unpasteurized honey daily and this was just as good. The other two flavors were passion fruit and Champagne. The passion fruit was tangy and fruity like you’d expect, not my favorite, but definitely good. The Champagne tasted just like Champagne, which surprised me a bit. I’d like to find out if I could get a buzz from just eating spoonfuls of the ganache.
I really can’t say anything negative about Zella Rue. It’s boutique chocolate that obviously takes pride in being fresh and delicious.
If that doesn’t make you want to at least try some chocolate then check your pulse.
