Maxence Barbot, undisputed master of puff pastry, offers us a taste experience combining delicacy and intensity. The main notes of the log are:

  • The power of walnuts,
  • The finesse of truffles,
  • The sweetness of vanilla, adding a touch of gourmandise.

On the outside, the truffle rim is subtly cocoaed, topped with golden streaks reminiscent of the inside of mushrooms, a tribute to the chef's expertise. At its heart are :

  • A nut-infused vanilla mousse, roasted and subtly smoked,
  • Delicately truffled vanilla caviar,
  • A creamy caramel with caramelized walnuts,
  • A walnut cookie and crunch.

The log ends with the sweet flavors of vanilla crème brûlée, evoking tender childhood memories.
