“Chocolat” in the Lange hills

“Chocolat” in the Lange hills
Alba (CN)
Magazine: March 2008

Near the Duomo in Alba, lies a modern pastry shop with an antique heart. Behind the counter… a talented pastry chef who interprets peoples’ tastes, just like Vianne who caused a “chocolate upheaval” in the life of a French village. But “Healthy Gourmand” is not the title of a film. We are talking about a health conscious patisserie that caters for clients with a fit lifestyle, for those who suffer from intolerances or those who need to follow a diet without renouncing the pleasures of the palate. The secret is the use of non-traditional products like kamut and farro used for creating the “sugar free” products like the Diabella cake, a Bavarian cream creation, with hazelnuts and white chocolate or the cream with cocoa, free from hydrogenated fats.
