Brioche
“I like bread and its toasty flavour. And I love delicious pastry. That’s why I am very fond of brioches, bringing together the best of both worlds. In a way, the fermentation of cocoa beans and the ‘fermentation’ process of brioche dough are equally important for excellent quality and flavours in the end. Timing, temperature and taste. The 3 T’s of perfection.”
