The companies said the truffles, which will be made in Switzerland, are targeted at the duty free and airline markets worldwide and major domestic markets including Europe, USA and Canada, the Far East and Australia. They will be appearing in high street department stores, such as BHS in the UK, and boxes of 16 truffles will retail for around €15 (US$17.5).
