“Praline sweetens life with style and elegance.” (Emese D. Antal)
Maître Chocolatier, Johannes F. Bachhalm and myself knew the special flavor of Hungarian paprika powder and the taste of fresh cocoa beans. We knew that this kind of combination is the right way to a noble taste.
That’s the reason why we created a unique praline to turn our idea into reality: EMESE – the Hungarian paprika praline, made by Johannes F. Bachhalm.
EMESE – Hungarian paprika praline
Let us introduce the praline: wonderful fiery red color, discreet bitter chocolate, but still a hearty sweet flavor. Paprika powder – with its spirited but also bitter and sweet taste – takes chocolate to a crazy Hungarian Csárdás dance. They are irresistible together and provide real pleasure to people whose desire is more than just a fine chocolate – it’s also about the dancing of our hearts.
“More than just a chocolate. Taste the Hungarian Spirit.”
People now have the unique opportunity to taste the soul of Hungary and the diversity of Hungarian mentality. You know how? Just take a praline as a dessert immediately after a Goulash soup (Hungarian: gulyás) or enjoy it with a coffee! The flavor of red paprika will unfold in your mouth.
There is a saying: cheese closes the stomach. Well, we consider that our paprika praline is heart-opening and makes us feel that it’s never enough.
It is hot like fire, sweet and noble, has a discreet bitter flavor, it is creamy with a lovely definition. This praline’s fragrance reminds us of fresh cocoa beans and spreads the magical taste of the highly spirited Hungarian paprika. Just hold it between your index finger and your thumb: it feels silky and you will be eager to discover its magic with all your senses. The pure sentiment of Hungarian vitality.
All these impressions and the attention to details led us to develop our praline.
Combinations with whisky, rum and red wine
We’ve also done some special tastings with whisky, rum, red wine and the EMESE paprika praline. These combinations proved once again that we hit the right note when we said – “More than just a chocolate. Taste the Hungarian Spirit.”
Hungarian mentality is multifaceted but it never forgets its central theme. The same mentality characterizes the paprika praline as well.
It reflects my playful, sporty soul and the decades of chocolate industry based experience of Johannes F. Bachhalm, whose mastery is also proved by a large number of international prizes and diplomas as Maître Chocolatier.
Enjoy! We wish you wonderful moments of joy while tasting the EMESE paprika praline!
