Chocolates with matcha and hazelnut praliné
A harmonious taste sensation between East and West: delicious Belgian chocolate with creamy hazelnut praliné and the subtle, green power of Japanese matcha. This unique praline is a creation of top chocolatier Frederic, awarded by Gault & Millau for his exceptional craftsmanship.
The creation
Frederic wanted to develop a chocolate that is surprising, elegant and perfectly balanced. The result is a masterpiece in which the full, toasted flavour of hazelnut praliné merges with the slightly bitter, grassy notes of matcha tea. A coating of chocolate finishes it off with a soft crunch and a deep cocoa flavour that enhances the other ingredients.
The origins of matcha
Matcha is a finely ground powder of specially grown and processed green tea leaves from Japan. The tradition of matcha dates back to the 12th century, where it was used by Buddhist monks for meditation and concentration. Shady growing conditions and manual harvesting ensure a particularly concentrated flavour and vibrant green colour. Matcha is known not only for its unique flavour, but also for its health-promoting properties, such as antioxidants and amino acids.
