Tasting chocolate
The sun, candied. Beneath a grand cru couverture, a Tonda Gentile PGI praline lifted with candied orange peel from Apt — the world capital of candied fruit, where the citrus is candied slowly, over weeks, according to a centuries-old craft.
The sunlit bitterness of the peel cuts through the roundness of the praline; what remains in the mouth is a light of citrus, bright and long.
