Paillete Feuilletine 500g

Crispy French Feuilletine Flakes for Baking

Pailleté Feuilletine is made from finely crushed crêpe dentelle flakes, delicate French biscuits with a light, buttery texture somewhere between a wafer and a biscuit. Also known simply as feuilletine, these crisp flakes bring a delicate pastry crunch to both classic pâtisserie and home baking.

Perfect for adding texture, use these French feuilletine flakes in praline, gianduja and chocolate creations. Mix them with tempered or melted chocolate to create crunchy tart bases, chocolate layers and dessert coatings, or sprinkle over cakes and desserts just before serving for extra texture.

One of the unique qualities of crispy feuilletine is that it stays crisp when combined with fat-based ingredients such as chocolate, praline paste and nut butters. To preserve its crunch, avoid mixing it directly with water-based ingredients like cream, milk or cake batter.

Produced by Barry Callebaut, this pailleté feuilletine is a favourite ingredient among professional pastry chefs for creating crisp chocolate and praline desserts.
