Angelina White and Dark Chocolate Pralines with Piedmont Hazelnuts

Tasting Notes of the Curator

Angelina pralinés are made from the best hazelnuts from Piemont, in Italy. This hazelnut variety has a geographical appellation controlled quality guarantee. The power of roasted hazelnut combined with tasty notes of white or dark chocolate creates an irresistible recipe. The pralines have a smooth texture that melts in your mouth, while the crunchy hazelnuts add a delightful contrast.

Pairings and Suggestions

These delicious pralines can be enjoyed on their own as an indulgent treat, or paired with coffee or tea for an afternoon pick-me-up. They also make a great addition to any dessert platter or gift basket.

A Taste of History

Angelina is a popular tea house and café with several locations in Paris and one location in NYC. Founded in 1903 by Austrian confectioner Antoine Rumpelmayer (1832 – 1914), Angelina quickly became an institution frequented by elite Parisians, including Marcel Proust and Coco Chanel. In 1982, the tea house welcomed the cast of La Boum 2 to film some scenes for the movie. Today, Angelina is owned by Groupe Bertrand and has expanded its reach internationally.
