Praline chocolate is one of the delicious inventions of the French chocolate industry, appreciated the world over. It's a gourmet combination of hazelnuts or almonds coated with caramelized sugar, finely ground and then mixed with chocolate. It's a recipe that has survived the centuries, but whose origins and evolution are deeply rooted in French craftsmanship.
Praliné originated in the 17th century, invented by a French cook named Clément Jaluzot. He was in the service of Duke Plessis-Praslin, whose name eventually gave rise to praliné. Praliné was originally a confection made from almonds coated with caramelized sugar. The sweet was quickly adopted by the French nobility and became a staple of receptions and banquets.
Over the years, artisans began adding chocolate to the mix, creating the version of praliné chocolate we know and love today. This innovation has enabled praliné to survive the centuries and remain a staple of French patisserie.
Over the centuries, pralines have evolved to meet new production methods and changing consumer preferences. However, its true essence has remained the same. In France, praliné chocolate is still made using traditional methods: hazelnuts or almonds are roasted, coated with caramelized sugar, then ground to a fine paste which is then mixed with the chocolate. This artisanal process produces the smooth texture and rich taste that distinguish true praline chocolate.
At Basile & Téa, we're proud to be a part of that history. We're committed to respecting tradition while meeting modern needs for eco-responsibility. Our ingredients are chosen for their superior quality and sustainable provenance, enabling us to create praline chocolates that are not only delicious, but also environmentally friendly.

Making praline chocolate is an art that Basile & Téa have mastered to perfection. The process begins with the rigorous selection of raw materials. The cocoa and hazelnuts used are carefully chosen for their superior quality and eco-responsible provenance.
The first stage in making praline chocolate is roasting the hazelnuts. This process releases the hazelnuts' intense aromas, which blend with those of the cocoa to make the praliné. The hazelnuts are then ground into a fine paste, which is mixed with caramelized sugar.
Once the ingredients have been selected, the pralinage process can begin. The sugar is cooked to a golden caramel color, then mixed with the ground hazelnuts. This preparation is then cooled and ground again to obtain the praline.
The praline is then mixed with the melted chocolate, in precise proportions that are the secret of our unique recipe. The mixture is then poured into molds and left to cool until hardened.
The quality of praline chocolate depends largely on the selection of ingredients. At Basile & Téa, we prefer noble, sustainable ingredients. Our hazelnuts are carefully selected for their intense flavor and crunchiness. The sugar used for the caramel is also carefully selected for its quality.
Our chocolate is made from pure cocoa butter. This guarantees a rich, authentic taste, without the addition of preservatives, colorants or palm oil. We're also proud to use recycled, recyclable kraft packaging and eco-friendly ink.
