GETTING
YOUR FIX
7x7 San Francisco
February 2002
The Bay Area attracts chocolate-makers partly because its cool, dry climate is perfect for chocolate production.
Since
1997, when the idea for XOX
Truffles went from a late-night, "what if?" conversations
between Chef Jean-Marc Gorce and wife and business partner Casimira into
reality, the chocolatiering couple has been producing some of the most
sought-after truffles in the Bay Area.
The two opened a little boutique at 754 Columbus Ave. (near Greenwich St.) and quickly earned kudos from San Francisco chocoholics for their delectable, bite-sized XOX nuggets.
With 27 savory flavors, including varieties infused with Kahlua and Triple Sec, as well as virgin truffles ranging from popular hazelnut to a rich dark chocolate, XOX Truffles come intricately wrapped in ornate packaging.
They're the perfect sexy treat for nighttime rendezvous with your special sweetie.
