To prepare your homemade praline, start by gathering all the necessary ingredients. You'll need fresh and crunchy hazelnuts (100g), a vanilla pod for its enchanting aroma, and sugar (150g) for its characteristic sweetness.
Begin by roasting the hazelnuts in the oven (160°C) to unleash their natural flavor. Then, prepare the caramel by melting the sugar in a saucepan until it reaches a beautiful amber color. Once the caramel is ready, mix it with the roasted hazelnuts in a food processor.
Ensure you achieve a smooth and homogeneous texture while maintaining a slight graininess for an exceptional gustatory experience.
Finally, add the scraped vanilla pod to bring a fragrant and exquisite note to your praline. Once all the ingredients are perfectly combined, refrigerate the praline for a few hours to achieve the perfect consistency.
When you taste your homemade hazelnut praline, let yourself be enchanted by its creamy texture and subtle flavor that will awaken your senses with every bite.
The Piemont Hazelnut:Pierre Marcolini's secret
The Piemont hazelnut, or Tonda Gentile delle Langhe, is one of its star products, considered the must-have hazelnut.
Piemont hazelnuts are a prized gem among connoisseurs. They are renowned for their exceptional quality and delicate taste. The combination of ideal climatic conditions, with hot summers and mild winters, gives Piemont hazelnuts a sweet and subtle flavor, enhanced by slightly buttery notes and a slight bitterness that harmoniously complements the sweetness of caramel in the preparation of Maison Pierre Marcolini's Plumier Petits Bonheurs.
These hazelnuts offer an incomparable gustatory experience and testify to the artisanal know-how and passion for quality that characterize Italian culinary culture.
