Waves
Hungary is rich in natural lakes and rivers like Balaton or Danube. Enjoying long summer evenings on the shore is one of the most peaceful moments. I want to evoke this feeling with the wave shape and ingredients from the farmers around the Lake Balaton while I highlight their taste profiles with my own Or Noir chocolate, Epiqure.
