Chocolate and Orange Brioche

306

In our constant push to innovate and elevate the gastronomic experience, we are pleased to share an exciting collaboration we have undertaken with renowned pastry chef, Carles Mampel. Together, we have explored new possibilities in the world of patisserie and bakery, focusing on the delicious fusion of chocolate and orange.

Improving the art of confit: less syrup, more flavour

On this occasion, we wanted to highlight our commitment to quality and perfection in every detail. We have refined the process of confit oranges, achieving an exceptional end product with less syrup. This advance not only improves the quality of the confit, but also facilitates its application, eliminating the need for excessive draining.

Chocolate and orange brioche

Brioche is a type of sweet bread, originally from France, known for its light and fluffy texture. Its distinctive feature lies in its high butter and egg content, which give it a rich and delicate flavour. Perfect for breakfast or as a dessert, brioche is versatile and can take on a variety of flavours.

What makes this brioche truly special is the incorporation of our confit oranges directly into the dough. This unique touch adds a burst of citrus flavour and a mild sweetness that perfectly complements the rich deliciousness of the chocolate.

The masters’ choice: top-quality ingredients

Chef Mampel has carefully selected the ingredients for this recipe. For the chocolate cream, he has opted for Valrhona’s 75% Tulakalum dark chocolate, renowned for its unrivalled quality and flavour. In addition, to enhance both the aroma and flavour, he has incorporated Sosa Ingredients’ Sweet Orange Aroma, adding an extra layer of complexity and freshness to the creation.

This Chocolate Orange Brioche is a symphony of flavours, where innovation meets tradition, and quality takes centre stage.
