Cru de Mendiants almond/hazelnut/orange with 60 percent chocolate

(0 review)

Cru de Mendiants

Since they have been in our shop, they have been a hit. People come back from all over The Hague for them! Consistent quality, flexibility, and a focus on fair and fresh products are just a few reasons why we enjoy working with Tom!

A traditional French delicacy that consists of a combination of 60% pure Sao Palme chocolate from Felchlin, sourced from Ghana, with almonds, hazelnuts, and candied orange from Valencia. Finished with caramelised cocoa nibs.

The almonds and hazelnuts are roasted by Tom himself in his workshop in Tilburg. This has created a perfect flavour combination between the sweet, round taste of the nuts and the candied orange and the slightly bitter dark chocolate. 

The luxury mendiants (also known as student mix) is one of our favourites! The combination of dark chocolate, almond, hazelnut, candied orange, and cocoa nibs provides a unique mouthfeel.

A Mendiant is a traditional French delicacy known for its round appearance with dried fruits and nuts. Due to our company logo, we thought it would be nice to release the Cru de Mendiants in a square shape and give it a contemporary twist. Originally, a Mendiant consists of four ingredients that refer to the four beggars (Mendiants) from the Middle Ages, namely dried figs (Franciscans), raisins (Augustinians), almonds (Dominicans), and hazelnuts (Carmelites).
