Glenstal Abbey: Murroe, County Limerick, Ireland
Glenstal Abbey is a Benedictine monastery founded in 1927 in County Limerick on the south-west coast of Ireland. A 500 acre estate with streams, lakes and woodland paths surrounds a Norman-style castle built in the 1830s.
The Abbey, which is dedicated to Saints Joseph and Columba, is home to 50 monks. Prayer and liturgical celebration combine with managing a boarding school for boys, a farm, and a guest house. The Abbey is known for its collection of Russian and Greek icons and for its many chant and music recordings.
Glenstal Abbey Truffle Flavors:
Chartreuse: Made at the monastery of La Grande Chartreuse, France, from an ancient recipe of some 130 herbs and plants, known to only two monks at any time.
Nocino di Valserena: An artisan product of the monastery of Bose in Italy, made from walnuts and using an old monastic recipe for an after-dinner drink, the classic Italian digestive.
Bénédictine: First made in the 16th century by an Italian monk, Bernardo Vincelli, at Fécamp Abbey in France. Still made today at Fécamp by a company founded in 1863.
Liqueur de Mandarine: Made at the Cistercian abbey on the island of Lérins, off the French coast, where St. Patrick is said to have studied in the fifth century.
Irish Coffee: The aroma and flavor of cappuccino combines with undertones of award-winning Irish whiskey in a perfect symphony of culinary bliss.
Milk Praline: Caramelized hazelnuts ground and delicately blended with chocolate, this is a real winner with all palates.
Whole Hazelnut: The smoothness of delicious praline contrasts with the texture of a whole hazelnut to delight the senses.
Almond: Turkish almonds caramelized, finely ground and perfectly balanced with chocolate to bring you a dreamy Eastern experience.

This truffle assortment is unique as it is not available where I live in North Carolina. Truffle flavors are distinctive and beautifully crafted. I highly recommend these chocolates for anyone who enjoys excellent chocolate.

Glenstal Abbey Truffles Unbelievable!
Aug 4, 2021 | By KAREN W.
The first box of these sort-of "boozie" truffles was initially a Christmas gift to my husband from our daughter. He was so taken by them, terming them the best chocolates he has ever had, that he got a box for Father's Day from our cats and another box for his birthday. I have only been able to either be gifted or resort to stealing one or two from each box to taste them myself. He covets them and protects them like fine jewels. We have a world-class candy maker in my home town in western Pennsylvania that I have always proclaimed the best chocolate from anywhere. In my opinion, these chocolates are right up there in the same league.
