Final selection
The result
For the dark chocolate bonbon, we prepared a concentrate of roasted pepper gel, which we piped into the base of the bonbon. Then we created a ganache with the Fleur de Cao™ dark chocolate and long pepper, which we alternated with a salted black sesame crisp.
Tasting
For the dark chocolate bonbon, a red Tempranillo from Ribera del
Duero, Chartier 2013, was chosen. This wine has a powerful base
note of chocolate and shares a molecular profile with the roast
red pepper reduction, sesame paste and long pepper.
