A Sweetness that Smells Like Spring

There’s a moment in the heart of spring when freshness meets delicacy and something truly unique is born. From this meeting comes the latest creation from our Pastry Lab: Pea panna cotta with wild strawberry chutney and fresh strawberries. A one-of-a-kind dessert that captures the lightness of May—its blooming meadows and lengthening days. A spoonful of comfort that surprises with its balance, originality, and color.

The soft, velvety pea panna cotta breaks every mold, revealing the sweet and refreshing side of an ingredient usually reserved for savory dishes. Elegantly contrasted by the tangy intensity of the wild strawberry chutney, and completed by the natural sweetness of fresh strawberries, this dessert delights the eye and enchants the palate. It offers the perfect harmony of earth and fruit, creaminess and crunch, freshness and comfort.
