A premium hazelnut praline from Callebaut, with a golden colour and fine, velvety smooth mouth feel. Boasting an Intense taste of caramelised hazelnuts and pleasant toasted notes. It makes an excellent filling by itself, but is also ideal for use in flavouring desserts, crèmes, bavarois, glazes and other fillings. It also combines perfectly with chocolate to create a decadent gianduja.

Callebaut select the finest hazelnuts from orchards in Spain, Italy and Turkey, picking them when they're perfectly sun-ripened and roasting them to ensure a fresh, authentic flavour that adds vibrancy and depth to many chocolate products.
