Chocolate Dragée Almonds
“As we searched for the best almonds our favorites came from our own back yard — Braga Organic Farms in San Joaquin Valley. Their deeply toasted flavor pulls forward the chocolate’s rich, tropical-fruit notes.”
FROM ITALY TO SAN FRANCISCO
Prior to developing our Dragées, Nicholas traveled to Alba and Torino — parts of northern Italy steeped in confectionery history. While there, he received training in using our new panning equipment. We use one panner to cover nuts in caramel, and another to coat those caramelized nuts in chocolate. Though the process itself is not complicated, proper technique and timing are essential.
