At the heart, a creamy praline. Around it, a 75% grand cru dark chocolate couverture. And then the loomi — the sun-dried lime the desert caravans knew by the name of noor. Light. The smoky bite of black lime comes here to fracture the roundness of the praline.

— The experience —

NOOR is a recipe for the end of service, or for after dinner by the fire. The smoky bitterness of the loomi awakens the back of the palate; the dried citrus opens a dialogue with dark spirits. Reserved for tasters unafraid of powerful structures.

— Our story —

Noor evokes light, contrast and contemporary elegance. A recipe brought back from a journey to Muscat — the way one brings back a memory, the certainty of a taste that did not yet exist. The loomi (sun-dried lime) of the Persian basin meets the Tonda Gentile praline. An encounter between intensity, finesse and sensory emotion.
