COLLABORATION

The bonbon has the shape of a half-cut cocoa pod, evoking the curved, characteristically veined outer shell of the cocoa crop. A glittery reddish-green coloured cocoa butter coating refers not only to the natural colour of the cocoa beans but also the colour scheme of filling layers. Under the colourful glossy crust of the bonbon the layers of redcurrant gel spiced with thyme and the gianduja, made of roasted pumpkinseed from Őrség (Historical region of Hungary) blend together in a crispy milk chocolate shell.
Pumpkinseed oil from Őrség is often called « The gold of Őrség » and it is a core ingredient of our Hungarian culture and history.

Cocoa is one of those treasures which may soon disappear from our world if we exploit nature and do nothing. Chocolate is a gift that would leave a large emptiness around the world if it would be no longer accessible to people. I believe that together, with a broad collaboration we can turn the current difficult situation in a positive direction. I would like to present this philosophy both in my sculpture and all my desserts. Each of them has a message, a call to humanity to act together.
Although I want to speak to the world through my creations, I don’t want to forget my roots either, the fact that I was born and raised in Hungary. That’s why I present iconic Hungarian ingredients in my desserts.
COLLABORATION between traditions and cultures through flavours from the past with a twist of tomorrow - that is what my Bonbon represents.
