Cantonese Almond redefines what a caramelized nut can offer. Made using the Asian technique of Cantonese caramelization, each whole almond has a uniform shine, genuine and intense flavor and moisture resistance that radically distinguishes it from traditional caramelization. Less sweet, more elegant and technically superior: an ingredient that works as well in signature pastries as it does in high-end savory cuisine.
To be incorporated directly in the production process without the need of previous treatment. Use whole as a decorative element in cakes, hors d’oeuvres, chocolate bars and ice cream for a visually stunning finish. Chop or mince to integrate into fillings, pralines, crumbles and pastry bases. Add to salads, rice, game dishes or appetizer boards to provide crunchy contrast and bitter-sweet nuances. Incorporate into granolas, premium trail mixes or present as a gourmet snack in the dining room.
Behind every Cantonese almond is a process that admits no shortcuts. Unlike rapid caramelization in the oven or conventional caramelization, the Cantonese technique requires time and precision: the almonds are immersed for 24 hours in syrup, allowing the sugar to penetrate slowly and evenly into each piece.
Then comes the decisive moment –frying in olive oil –which fixes the coating instantly, eliminates excess sugar and generates that shiny, crunchy and uniform finish that is difficult to achieve by other methods. The residual sugar disappears; what remains is a clean-tasting almond, with the variety’s own character in the foreground and a restrained sweetness that does not compete with the rest of the recipe’s ingredients.
Its wet-proof property – real resistance to humidity – makes it a technically reliable ingredient in preparations where other nuts fail: it holds its crunchiness in contact with whipped creams, ganaches, ice creams and toppings for a significantly longer time.
Whole pieces, with no waste or fragments, with that golden brown color and natural irregularity that identify a genuinely handcrafted product.
