Jean Hager in Languedoc-Roussilon in the south of France is an olivebauer. grower by trade. However, because the olive tree thrives best in mixed cultivation, he has also planted peach and almond trees among the olive trees in his ten-hectare groves, which he cultivates at the foot of Mont Bouquet on the border with the Ardèche - there are around 2,000 trees in total. Because Hager also processes the yield from his almond trees, he can justifiably be called one of the last French almond growers who, like the famous Gallic village, defies the Romans' mass imports from Californian industrial plantations. Depending on the season, each of Hager's almond trees only produces 5 to 30 kg of fruit. However, the quality of these almonds is outstanding, as Hager only cultivates two highly acclaimed almond varieties in its groves. One is the 'Ferragnes' variety, which produces large, long, mildly sweet and aromatic almond kernels with thin skins. And then there is the 'Ferrastar' variety, which produces almonds with a crunchy bite and a strong, nutty flavor. Both are pure and full of character like few other almond varieties, and - a pleasant side effect - both have natural properties that mean they hardly need to be sprayed, even in conventional cultivation.

In this opulent preparation, Hager's almonds come to perfection in terms of taste and even enhance the flavor of the roasted almonds they contain, as they also have a rich coating of chocolate and cocoa powder. These two ingredients enrich the already rich aroma of the almonds and add a creamy-soft texture to the crunchy almonds, which also enhances the tactile pleasure experienced when eating them.
