"Say your lover has a chocolate fetish? Then get thee to Azurelise...These are not your typical prettified confections with icing squiggles and candied flowers on top, mind you. They're truffles for the purist, unadorned squares of chocolate that let their flavor do the talking."  -  Greg Cox, senior food editor and critic for Raleigh, North Carolina's News & Observer newspaper  

I'm Reginald O. Savage, an independent chocolate truffle maker based in Raleigh, North Carolina.  The chocolate truffles I make, Azurelise chocolate truffles,  can be purchased at North Carolina's premier gourmet and specialty foods store, A Southern Season, in Chapel Hill, NC (201 S. Estes Drive) and online.  A Southern Season also sells a limited selection of Azurelise chocolate truffles on their website.

I ship chocolate truffles ordered online the day I make them, one to five days after I receive the orders. Deliveries in the Raleigh area can be arranged if time allows.

My one man chocolate shop is not open for walk-in sales but Azurelise's Raleigh area chocolate truffle customers can pick up online orders at Azurelise Chocolate Truffle Shop 12pm-1:30pm and 4:30-6:00pm Thursday and Friday. Orders must be submitted online by 8pm at least 3 days before pick up.  

Azurelise Chocolate Truffle Shop is located in downtown Raleigh a few blocks east of  North Carolina State University's campus and a few blocks west of the North Carolina State Capitol building.

The webpages "About Azurelise", "Making Truffles", "Bourbon, Beer And Sea Salt" and "Banana Mango" are tangential responses to customer inquiries about what I do, how and why I do it.  The news articles, reviews and Food Network television show "Tasty Research In Raleigh", that I list below, also help to answer those questions.

Please do not hesitate to call me at 919-946-5063 or e-mail me at azurelise@azurelise.com if you have any questions those pages do not address.
