Academy of Chocolate - Silver
2015
Juniper and Bergamot with Praline by Chika Watanabe is a sophisticated chocolate creation that features the aromatic flavors of juniper berries and bergamot, combined with a rich praline filling. The juniper adds a fresh, slightly piney note, while bergamot, known for its citrusy and floral profile, provides a bright and uplifting flavor.
The praline filling, often made from ground nuts (like hazelnuts or almonds) blended with chocolate and sugar, adds a creamy, nutty sweetness that balances the more intense flavors of juniper and bergamot. This combination creates a luxurious chocolate experience that is both refreshing and indulgent, appealing to those who enjoy unique flavor pairings.
