Tonka Bean

TONKA BEAN

FORMAT: 200g jar

DESCRIPTION: Whole tonka beans, with an intense and complex aroma featuring notes of vanilla, almond, cinnamon, and caramel. Highly valued in pastry-making, cocktails, and haute cuisine for their unique and sophisticated fragrance. They add warmth and aromatic depth to desserts, creams, sauces, and marinades. Used in small quantities due to their potent flavoring.

INGREDIENTS: Whole Tonka Bean (Dipteryx odorata).

ORIGIN: Brazil

TASTING NOTES: It has an extraordinarily rich and complex aromatic profile that evokes a blend of vanilla, bitter almond, cinnamon, and clove, with a final touch reminiscent of freshly cut hay and sweet tobacco.

USE: It is the jewel of gourmet pastry and cocktails. It is generally grated at the last moment (like nutmeg) over creams, chocolates, ice creams, or panna cottas. In savory dishes, it provides an exotic contrast to scallops, white fish, or vegetable purees. Due to its high coumarin concentration, it should be used in very small quantities.

STORAGE: Store in a dry, dark, and cool place

ALLERGENS: May contain traces of Celery, Sesame, Gluten, and Mustard due to their presence in the facilities
