Pauetet N°12 - Roasted Hazelnut Purée

Pauetet is distinguished by a round, small, and very uniform kernel. This homogeneity makes it a particularly interesting variety for controlled roasting and precise aromatic expression. Raw, it offers notes of fresh hazelnut, almond milk, and delicate dried fruit. Roasted, it reveals its full potential with remarkable intensity: toasted bread, browned butter, warm cereals, and a persistent finish. Less about the sweet roundness of a Tonda, it asserts a more direct, more pronounced profile, with a real presence in the mouth. Its crunchy texture, aromatic power, and good performance in processing make it an ideal hazelnut for pralines with character, intense purees, and technical inclusions.
