I was grocery shopping in the Alsace region again. It is always fun to look for goodies that I have never seen before.
In the bakery area of the supermarket stood a table with stacks of plastic packed little pralines with different fillings.
I have never seen these before and at home I looked up the history. A French company is producing them to show the rich flavours of the Italian province of Piemont. There haselnuts and chocolate products are playing a major role.
Cestini in Italian means little basket. A shortcrust round tartelette is baked and filled with a cream with or without nuts.
I bought Pistacchio cestini, because since the Dubai chocolate hype everything pistacchio sells. When I find them again, I will try the other ones too.
