Lolo French Antiques et More is serving up some delicious "sweet treats" this Valentine's Day! 

We have a fabulous selection of chocolates for your Valentine this year — like this "burled brittle infused with orange liqueur dusted with chestnut shavings"

and this "caramel truffle with a milk chocolate ganache infusion of borbon vanilla and sea salt"

 and especially this "dark chocolate praliné, coated with roasted and caramelized almonds, enrobed in dark chocolate."

Chocolat, whether it's the color or the candy, is a great gift for your sweetheart on Valentine's Day.

 One of our favorite chocolate candies, the truffe au chocolat (chocolate truffle), is synonymous with luxury and decadent indulgence. 

Truffes au Chocolate, La Maison du Chocolat, Paris

The chocolate truffle is a chocolate confection created by a pâtissier named Louis Dufour in the picturesque, mountainous region of southeastern France known as the Savoiea. While preparing Christmas sweets in the city of Chambéry in 1895, the French chocolatier realized he was missing some basic ingredients. Too proud to purchase supplies from a competitor, Dufour decided to blend crème fraîche, vanilla and cocoa powder — creating what we now call ganache — the traditional center of a truffle. To make his creation more appealing, Dufour rolled small amounts of the ganache into balls, dipped them into melted chocolate, and then dusted them with more cocoa powder. The irregular shaped chocolate confections looked a lot like the fancy mushrooms known as truffles, hence the name truffle was used to describe them. They were an instant success! 

Today, truffles are filled with everything from ganache to caramel to liqueur, 

and decorated with everything from cocoa powder to sea salt to coconut.

We hope you and your Valentine indulge in some decadent chocolate today!

Bonne Saint Valentin!

 One Kings Lane is not the only "other" place you'll be able to find us! Marcy Cowan, owner of taste, a local culinary arts shoppe, will be featuring Lolo French Antiques et More in her seasonal pop-up store located on the second floor of Phipps Plaza, just above Tiffany's.

Marcy's love of fresh and flavorful ingredients, fine cooking, pragmatic, beautiful cookware, lovely tabletops and fine French antiques made it easy to say "yes" when she invited us to showcase antiques with her high-end gourmet, kitchen and tabletop items, many of them imported from France.

It will look fabulous utilized anywhere from a wine cellar to a gourmet kitchen. The aged patina only adds to its charm, making this unique item the perfect gift for the wine lover in your life.
