Description

A bath truffle is essentially a combination of a bath bomb, bath melt and bubble bath. In other words, it’s a solid bubble bath and creates fluffy bubbles while releasing nourishing and luxurious butters into the water. The water feels silky smooth, and so will your skin after the bath. Our truffles contain glorious oils and essential oils to simultaneously enrich your skin, while you unwind and soak away a busy day.

• Bath truffles are crumbled beneath the tap while the bath is being filled to create bubbles. Our bath truffles will eventually dissolve/melt if placed directly in the bath water like a bath bomb, but it is the pressure of the running water that will create fluffy bubbles and foam
• Bath bombs are on the chalkier side while bath truffles are softer due to the large amount of luxurious shea butter and cocoa butter. These butters are super luscious and they make the skin feel amazing and soft both during and after the bath
• The truffles are smaller than a bath bomb. One is enough for a bath.
• The inner packaging has to be in plastic unfortunately, as exposure to moisture will result in your truffle doing it’s thing long before it gets anywhere near your bath tub.

MYTHS, STORIES & INSPIRATION

Bath Bombs have been around for ages and so has bubble bath….and they’re fun, especially when young.

ENTER THE BATH TRUFFLE

Greying hair and a goodly number of decades under the belt mean, I’ve grown to be a little more discerning and appreciate finer things in life……Like truffles and decadent moisturising bath time, paired beautifully with a glass of wine.

Truffles are one of the most expensive foods in the world. Think exclusive Michelin Star restaurants, price tags that make your eyes water, and yet a delicious dining experience. I adore white truffles from Italy, but one has to last me many years. Infused in Olive oil means I can add the oil to pasta dishes or drizzle on springbok carpaccio and a true spoil is grating a tiny little bit onto the dish.

Speaking of Springbok, do you know that we too have truffles in Southern Africa? The Kalahari Truffle, where our national gazelle roams and no doubt feeds on a few.

The Kalahari truffle grows in the desert, predominantly found near Camelthorn trees. It’s quite an art, as with their Italian counterparts, to both find and dig them out.

Forage and Feast…..I can say that…as our own Michelin Star Chef, Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen, who has designed the Forage and Feast range, has been showcasing these wonderful fungi in his food creations at his restaurant. The San People have been feasting on them for eons – a valuable source of nutrition

The best time to forage these special delicacies is after heavy rains in March and April. They’re also considerably cheaper than Italian truffles.
