Description
The elegance of the almond, the delicacy of taste: the refined touch for your signature dishes.
Our Blanched Almond Granules combine the unmistakable aroma of high-quality nuts with unparalleled delicacy. Before being reduced to granules, the almonds are stripped of their outer skin (blanched): this process eliminates the slightly bitter note of the skin, allowing only the sweet, buttery, and fragrant heart of the fruit to emerge.
Characterized by a bright, pure white color, it is the ideal ingredient for those seeking an impeccable visual presence and a clean flavor, capable of enhancing other ingredients without ever overpowering them.
Ready to use, it is the perfect secret ingredient for both pastry professionals and those who love to experiment in the home kitchen.
The Strengths of Our Blanched Granules:
- Sweet and Delicate Flavor: Manual or steam blanching eliminates bitter notes, ensuring an incredibly sweet and balanced taste.
- Impeccable Aesthetics: The light, uniform color gives a unique brightness and professional appearance to every creation.
- Maximum Digestibility: Without the skin, it is even lighter and more pleasant on the palate.
- Borduito Quality: Only premium almonds, carefully processed to preserve all nutritional properties intact.
Usage Tips: how to use it in the kitchen
Blanched almond granules are the queen of fine pastry, but also shine in the most refined savory recipes:
- Fine Pastry: Perfect for decorating elaborate cakes, cupcakes, petit fours, and for garnishing the edges of cream cakes or semifreddos. Excellent in traditional sweets like light cantucci and nougat.
- Sauces and White Pestos: The ideal base for an authentic pesto alla trapanese, or for creating creamy white pestos with zucchini or ricotta.
- Gourmet Crusts and Fish: Try it to create a light, golden crust on white fish fillets (such as sea bream or sea bass) or seared scallops.
- Royal Breakfasts: Enrich your fruit bowls, acai bowls, or muesli for a breakfast as beautiful to look at as it is delicious to taste.
The Chef’s Tip:
Want a “wow” effect? Use these granules plain on dark chocolate desserts to create an irresistible chromatic contrast (white/black). If instead you’re looking for a golden note, lightly toast them in the oven at 140°C for a few minutes: they will turn amber and release a heavenly aroma.
