COLLABORATION
This bonbon resembles a cocoa pod and has a shiny reddish-green cocoa butter coating. It contains layers of redcurrant gel spiced with thyme and gianduja made from roasted pumpkin seed. The crispy milk chocolate shell is infused with pumpkinseed oil from Őrség, a core ingredient in Hungarian culture and history. While I want to speak to the world through my creations, I don't want to forget my roots. I was born and raised in Hungary, and that's why I feature iconic Hungarian ingredients in my desserts. The COLLABORATION between traditions and cultures, through flavours from the past with a twist of tomorrow, is what my bonbon represents
