Comptoir de Mathilde Christmas Dark Hazelnut Wafer & Salted Pecan Nuts Spread

Tasting Notes of the Curator

This spread is a revelation in contrasts — rich, dark chocolate hazelnut cream meets the crunch of delicate feuilletine wafers and the savory depth of salted pecans. The base is smooth and bittersweet, offering the robust character of dark chocolate balanced by the gentle nuttiness of hazelnuts. Into this silky richness come shards of caramelized wafer, adding a light crisp texture, followed by pecan pieces kissed with salt, amplifying the flavors and creating a mouthwatering harmony of sweet, salty, and crunchy. It’s not merely a spread but a layered experience: indulgent yet balanced, festive yet versatile. Every spoonful feels like a grown-up praline, reimagined for the holiday table with French flair.
