Caramelised Hazelnut - Whole Blanched 600g - Sosa

Sosa Caramelised Hazelnut — golden hazelnut in traditional caramel

The Sosa Caramelised Hazelnut is made using a traditional direct-heat caramelisation process, combining sugar and honey to coat each whole blanched hazelnut in a golden, glossy and crunchy caramel. Less technical than the Cantonese caramelisation, this method produces a sweeter result, with a characteristic amber colour and a particularly pronounced roasted hazelnut flavour — ideal for preparations that call for an indulgent crunch and a straightforward caramel sweetness.

Production

Whole blanched hazelnuts are caramelised using direct heat with sugar, honey and citric acid (E330). This traditional process produces a uniform, glossy and crunchy coating in the characteristic golden colour of caramel — distinctly lighter than a Cantonese-style nut.
