Chocolate Truffles By Azurelise

"When Joyce Fowler, manager of A Southern Season's candy department, first tasted Reginald Savage's chocolates, she liked them so much she asked for Savage's price list. Fowler said that she could taste the excellent quality.

'It's a very creamy-textured chocolate with an underlying toasted caramel taste,' Fowler said. 'He makes a wonderful piece of chocolate.' His chocolates have sold well at the store, she added. 'His $12 box of chocolates far outsells Godiva's $12 box of chocolates,' Fowler said.

She finds his chocolates just as good as Godiva's and said that the fact that he's there in person to offer samples also helps boost sales."He's self-taught and he's taught himself very well," Fowler said. - Excerpt from the February 8, 2006 Durham Herald-Sun article "Former philosophy professor makes truffles to engage the mind as well as the senses". Author Susan Broili:

"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, food critic and editor for Raleigh, North Carolina's News & Observer newspaper. in a February 7, 2007 news article.

"Not only are Azurelise chocolates superb, but Reginald delivers service as well. If you are ordering chocolates from this web site, you can be sure that if by chance there are any problems or questions, Reginald will sort them out quickly and to your satisfaction. You will be more than pleased with your order." Tami Leppert, Salt Lake City, Utah.

"Dear Reginald,

"My brother gave me a box of your wonderful truffles last night for my birthday. I am in love! I'm not usually a chocolate person, but yours had me drooling! I have enjoyed reading your website.

I am the retail manager of The Umstead Hotel & Spa, opening in January 2007 in Cary and would love the opportunity to offer your truffles in our hotel shop."

Kind regards,

Leah Goodnight. Retail Manager The Umstead Hotel & Spa Cary, North Carolina

"Azurelise has been providing Alexia's Bridal Boutique with chocolate truffles since 2004. I chose Azurelise Chocolates over more well-known commercial chocolates because not only are they better tasting, they are locally made and less expensive. I give a box of Azurelise custom chocolates to brides who visit my shop. Many of them have remarked on their high quality. " Alexia Joyce, Alexia’s Bridal Boutique, Cary, North Carolina

"Azurelise chocolate truffles are pieces of heaven in disguise. Their luxurious, unique flavors are delightful counterpoints to their unremarkable appearance. Homely as they are, I have given them as presents for the past four years and will continue to do so until their lucky recipients quit begging me for more." Niall Hanley, Owner, The Hibernian Pub, Raleigh, & Cary North Carolina.
