Cacao Barry Paillété Feuilletine Crispy Caramelised Wafer Flakes

If there is one ingredient that separates a good patisserie from a great one, it's Paillété Feuilletine. These delicate, crispy caramelised wafer flakes from Cacao Barry are the secret behind the irresistible crunch in praliné feuilletine layers, chocolate tarts, and luxury entremets the world over. Light as a feather, golden, and subtly sweet — Feuilletine adds a textural magic that no other ingredient can replicate.

A staple in professional pastry kitchens from Paris to London, Paillété Feuilletine is the finishing touch that makes customers come back for more. Available at Nut House, delivered across the UK.

Why Professionals Choose Paillété Feuilletine

• Iconic crunch: The signature crispy texture that defines the classic praliné feuilletine layer — light, delicate, and utterly addictive
• Subtly caramelised: A gentle golden sweetness that complements chocolate, praline, and caramel without overpowering
• Stays crispy: Maintains its crunch when mixed with praline paste or chocolate, making it ideal for layered desserts
• Incredibly versatile: Works in layers, as a topping, mixed into chocolate, or as a decorative garnish

How to Use

• Classic praliné feuilletine layer: Mix with hazelnut or almond praline paste and a little melted milk or dark chocolate — spread thinly and allow to set for the iconic crunchy base layer in entremets and tarts
• Chocolate bark: Scatter over tempered dark, milk, or white chocolate before setting for an elegant crunchy bark
• Truffle coating: Roll truffles in feuilletine for a crispy, caramelised exterior instead of cocoa powder
• Ice cream topping: Sprinkle over ice cream or semifreddo just before serving for a light, crispy garnish
• Cake decoration: Press gently onto the sides of glazed entremets or cakes for a textural decorative finish
• Pairings: Outstanding with hazelnut or almond praline, milk and dark chocolate, vanilla, and caramel

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. Feuilletine absorbs moisture quickly — once opened, use promptly or reseal tightly to maintain crunch.
