Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
What is the difference between praline and hazelnut paste?
Praline contains roasted nuts (almonds, hazelnuts) AND caramelized sugar, ground together. Pure hazelnut paste contains only roasted hazelnuts, with no sugar. Praline is sweeter and smoother.
What is the consistency of Valrhona praline?
Valrhona Almond Hazelnut Praline has a ready-to-use, melt-in-the-mouth texture: neither too firm nor too runny. Ideal for filling chocolates or mixing with tempered chocolate for entremets inserts.
How should praline be stored?
Store at room temperature (16-18 °C), away from light, in its resealed packaging. No refrigeration needed. Once opened, consume within 3 months to preserve the aroma.
What sizes are available?
This Valrhona praline is available in 300 g and 5 kg sizes. The 5 kg size offers the best price per kg, ideal for regular production in professional kitchens.
