The pistachio contributes its buttery aroma, and the salt adds occasional highlights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"speakable-definition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhite Chocolate with Salted Pistachios\u003c\/strong\u003e is a gluten-free 60-gram bar from La Perla di Torino in Turin, Piedmont. Finely ground pistachios are incorporated into a melt of cocoa butter, milk, and sugar, accompanied by flakes of fleur de sel and a hint of vanilla.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFirst the melt, then the salt\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe melt remains mild until a salt flake kicks in, momentarily pushing back the sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePistachios contain high fat and low acidity, which is why they settle softly into the cocoa butter instead of working against it. Their aroma is buttery with a slightly grassy nuance that dark chocolate would bury beneath its roast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe salt is not distributed evenly, but rather remains in individual grains. That is exactly the appeal of this bar. Between two mild bites sits one that briefly becomes salty and makes the sweetness seem fresh again afterward, as if you had just opened the bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy it has to be fleur de sel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFleur de sel is skimmed from the surface of salt pans, remaining moist and coarse-grained.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFine salt would dissolve immediately in the warm mass and dampen the sweetness a little everywhere without standing out anywhere. Coarse flakes, on the other hand, survive the stirring process and only release their seasoning once the chocolate around them has already melted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis creates the temporal delay one notices while eating, which keeps the bar interesting throughout the entire piece. Salt also enhances nut aromas, which is why the pistachio tastes more distinct alongside the flakes than without them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOnly the butter comes from the cocoa bean\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe light base of this bar is composed of cocoa butter, milk, and sugar; only the fat from the bean itself is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCocoa butter melts just below body temperature, which is why the mass dissolves on the tongue and releases what was previously firmly held within it. This spares the bar the roasted bitterness that a dark chocolate must grapple with, and the pistachio does not have to struggle to be noticed. The whey protein provides a slight lactic acidity that supports the tone of the pistachio rather than covering it up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat remains is a long melt that gives the nut time, and a sweetness carried by the nut's fat and the milk. Vanilla rounds off the whole, without pushing itself to the forefront.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWith strong tea and a glass of Marsala\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA strong black tea pulls back the sweetness and lets the salt stand out more clearly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlongside a glass of Marsala, the nut and the sweetness of the wine meet without one covering the other, and the salt keeps both distinct. Stored cool and dark, the bar retains its shine, as heat causes white chocolate to bloom whitish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pistachio is available with fruit instead of salt in the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/la-perla-di-torino-weisse-schokolade-pistacchio-e-lampone\"\u003eWhite Chocolate Pistacchio e Lampone\u003c\/a\u003e, and as a praline in the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/la-perla-di-torino-tartufo-pistacchio-200g\"\u003eTartufo Pistacchio\u003c\/a\u003e.
