Congrats! This Hungarian bonbon won the international gastro Oscar
Change language:
By winning the palm with its cognac-flavoured chocolate at the Great Taste Awards, the Hungarian dessert company, Bonbonier Chocolate Manufactory has won its 18th international award.
In the last four years, Bonbonier Chocolate Manufactory was awarded eighteen international awards thanks to its irresistible bonbons, truffles and ice creams. This year, the dessert company chose its dark chocolate truffle flavoured with original French cognac for the prestigious gastro competition Great Taste Awards.
The jury was impressed by the chocolate speciality; its tasting experience was described as the top of the evening – the crackling of the chocolate shell; the creamy filling inside that melts slowly, leaving a pleasant cognac flavour behind.
“After winning our previous award, we received a bottle of French cognac as a gift from our friends. During that great evening, besides the bottle of cognac, we opened a bar of dark chocolate. So the idea was born soon that we will prepare something similar for this year’s Great Taste Awards. We worked a lot on the recipe before it gained its final form. It is a special pleasure for me to have won the recognition of the jury and the associated one-star rating with such a classic flavour combination. Gastronomic competitions are very innovative in terms of taste. It is a special challenge to compete with classic flavours” – said Nóra Erdélyi, the chocolatier of the manufactory, who opened her manufactory in Ráday Street last year with her business partner Tamás Csomor.
