Who is Dunkluv Biscotti?
Dunkluv Biscotti is a husband and wife owned business located in Grapevine Texas that produces an exquisite line of delicious gourmet biscotti in 5 flavors; Chocolate Chunk, Cranberry Walnut, Lemon, Honey, and Almond.
Packaging/Labeling: We received The Collection, which is a beautifully packaged assortment of each flavor of biscotti. The Collection comes in a very classy dark brown box with a teal/turquoise bow wrapped around it, and really makes for an elegant and upscale presentation. The box is a 2 piece box with the top lid lifting off to reveal the biscotti, which are individually wrapped in clear plastic.
As a gift, there is a hand written “to and from” tag that is makes a great added touch if you are giving this as a gift. As an order for yourself, the package includes a nice thank you card that adds a personal touch and shows appreciation for your business.
Overall, the presentation of Dunkluv’s packaging is absolutely fabulous and would really make a wonderful gift for just about anyone.
Taste/Consistency/Quality: The packaging was so attractive that we were pretty happy with the product before we even tried it. We were even happier to find that there was more to smile about on the inside. Dunkluv cut no corners when producing this delectable line of biscotti; each flavor being packed full of flavor and texture. The chocolate chunk was loaded with huge chunks of delicious chocolate as was the same for the cranberry walnut - stuffed with no shortage of fresh-tasting cranberries and walnuts. Each variety had just the right amount of flavor while not being overly-sweet and sugary.
In addition to trying the biscotti by itself, we also did the standard ‘dunk test’ in coffee where Dunkluv really stood apart from other biscotti products we have tried. Some biscotti products are too crumbly and fall apart when dunking while others are too hard and don’t really absorb much of the coffee. Dunkluv’s biscotti were perfect; not too crumbly while still able to soak up a perfect amount of coffee.
The next thing we tried was eating the biscotti with ice cream (as was suggested) which turned out to be a unanimous favorite. If the ice cream is soft enough, you can use the biscotti like a utensil for scooping. After a few minutes of being immersed in ice cream, the biscotti started to soften slightly, which made for a nice semi-crunchy contrast to the soft ice cream.
Overall, Dunkluv scores big points for being stuffed full of delicious ingredients and passing the “dunk test” with flying colors!
Uniqueness: Dunkluv Biscotti comes in pretty standard flavors for biscotti, but they get an “A” in the uniqueness department for having outstanding packaging presentation and a very liberal use of ingredients (chocolate chunk and cranberry walnut specifically).
Summary: Dunkluv gets an A+ for stunning packaging and presentation and a fabulous biscotti that passed our tests with ease. This is a product worth ordering for yourself (don’t settle for the cheap stuff at the grocery store) and makes an even better gift due to the ‘wow-factor’ of the packaging/presentation.
