Herbes de Provence

Herbes de Provence is a fragrant blend of dried herbs traditionally used in French cuisine. It typically includes a mix of thyme, rosemary, oregano, basil, fennel seeds, and sometimes lavender, capturing the essence of the Provence region.

Hazelnut Flour

Hazelnut flour is a finely ground powder made from skinned, toasted hazelnuts. Originating in regions like Turkey and Italy, it is celebrated for its rich, nutty flavor and fragrant aroma, which evoke warmth and depth in both sweet and savory dishes. The texture is smooth yet slightly grainy, offering a satisfying mouthfeel that is neither too dense nor too light. In cooking and baking, hazelnut flour behaves as a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour, adding richness and moisture to recipes. It is particularly prized for its ability to enhance the flavor profile of baked goods while providing structure, though it tends to produce denser results than traditional flours.
