Intense pecan praliné with rich, deep nut character and subtle bitterness
Valrhona Pecan Praliné 50% is an elegant nut paste made with half pecans and carefully balanced sugar to deliver an intense yet refined pecan flavour. Its deep mahogany-brown colour and glossy, smooth texture make it irresistible in artisanal chocolate and pastry applications.
Crafted using Valrhona’s proprietary “sanding” (sablage) process — where pecans and sugar are cooked together from the start — this praliné preserves the natural fruit-forward notes of pecans with a clean, slightly bitter finish that sets it apart.
Key Features:
-
50% pecans sourced for their rich, nutty aroma and buttery taste
-
Less than 50% sugar, providing a balanced sweetness that highlights the nut
-
Smooth, creamy texture ideal for seamless integration into spreads, ganaches, and creams
-
Produced through Valrhona's time-honoured sanding technique, accentuating true pecan character
Suggested Applications:
-
Ganache & crémeux — Pecan crémeux with chocolate or milk base
-
Mousse, ice creams & sorbets — Especially pecan-forward or nut-themed flavors
-
Pastry fillings & spreads — Layer between cakes or pipe into bonbons for rich indulgence
-
Signature desserts — Combine with fruit or vanilla for refined pecan tarts or entremets
