A wonderful assortment of chocolate pralinés
Our chocolates are best appreciated at room temperature. We advise that you cut your chocolate in two and let it melt in the mouth to allow time for the flavors to develop. When you are tasting several chocolates, it is best to start with a plain chocolate, then move on to flavored varieties: first those with fruits, then spices, then alcohol.
La Maison du Chocolat's praliné boasts a signature flavor, created by Robert Linxe, its founder: an initial taste of cooked caramel gives way to intense notes of nuts. He took the cooking process to new heights, whilst focusing on removing as much sugar as possible to preserve the essence of the nuts.
The entire process involves 3 stages and lasts 72 hours. The praliné mixture features nuts, chocolate, and inclusions and particular attention is paid to its texture: it crystallizes quickly and is sensitive to temperature variations. Its crunchy texture must be maintained without the mixture drying out; it must be covered without melting. The process requires precise temperatures: 16 and 21 degrees.
The praliné's balanced flavor lies in dried fruit and perfectly cooked sugar. Experience is essential to identify when the ultimate taste has developed, before the dreaded bitterness sets in: chocolatiers judge this by eye, waiting for the steam to turn "blue".
