Sweet Symphony Box

Tasting Notes of the Curator

Dive into an orchestra of flavors that promise to enchant every gourmand’s palate. Angelina’s Gianduja Pâte à Tartiner is a silky embrace of hazelnut and chocolate, its creamy texture a decadent invitation to indulgence. The Angelina Chocolate Bar offers a profound balance of rich cocoa and a faint whisper of fruit, underscoring its artisanal roots. For a whimsical touch, Comptoir de Mathilde’s Mr. Gingerbread Decorated is a spiced, buttery marvel, its handcrafted details evoking warm Christmas memories.

Angelina’s Crispy Crepes Coated with Dark Chocolate provide a satisfying crunch, their delicate layers a delightful contrast to the luscious Angelina Tin Box of Mini Giandujas, where hazelnut praline meets velvety milk chocolate. The old-fashioned hot chocolate powder mix transforms winter evenings into a cozy ritual, its deep, robust flavors perfect for fireside moments. Candied chestnuts offer a classic, sweet finish, their caramelized glaze a nod to tradition. The pièce de résistance, Pelissero Moscato d’Asti DOCG, is a sparkling Italian wine, its effervescence and fragrant notes of peach and honeysuckle a celebratory toast to the season.

A Story to Share at the Table

The Sweet Symphony Box reflects a harmony of tradition and innovation. Angelina, famed for its Parisian heritage, has delighted connoisseurs since 1903, especially with its hot chocolate, originally served in its tea rooms along Rue de Rivoli. The candied chestnuts are rooted in a centuries-old Christmas tradition from the French Alps, where the technique of glazing chestnuts in sugar syrup symbolizes abundance and celebration. Paired with Moscato d’Asti, a wine from Piedmont’s rolling hills with a DOCG certification, this collection offers a sensory journey through Europe’s festive traditions.
