Spruce needle oil 15 g

Spruce needle oil

The spruce is not only a beautiful tree, it also has very special properties and aromas. Many dishes can be refined with the tangy oil. The oil is harvested from May to October. The young spruce needles are particularly aromatic and add a wonderful flavor to a wide variety of dishes and drinks. The oil tastes earthy-tart to fresh and lemony.

Taste explosion in the confectionery

Even though spruce needle oil is not seen that often, there are already chocolates with the tangy oil. But why buy chocolate when you can make it yourself? The spruce oil can simply be added to the ready tempered couverture. Make sure that you add no more than 1-2 drops to the couverture. Now stir the couverture well with a silicone spatula and taste it. If the aroma is not yet intense enough for you, you can add more.
You can also refine a delicious praline filling with the oil.
For a ganache with an earthy aroma, you need:
70 g full cream
10 g Glucose
5 g Sorbitol
5 g butter
1 drop of spruce needle oil
140 g milk couverture
1 piping bag

Place the crushed couverture drops in a chrome steel bowl. Pour the cream, glucose, butter and sorbitol into a small pan. Bring everything to the boil, stirring constantly with a whisk. Pour the hot cream into the bowl with the prepared couverture drops and leave the bowl to stand for 1 minute. Carefully stir the whole mixture with the whisk until it is uniform. Now add 1-2 drops of the oil to the ganache and stir everything again. Now take the piping bag and fill it with the ganache. Use a sealing clip to close the top of the piping bag so that nothing can flow out. Leave the ganache to cool in the room for 15 minutes. The ganache is enough for about 25 to 30 hollow bodies. This ganache goes well with Praline mold sheet 32 pralines or the Chocolate shells pine cones.

Oil is actually used everywhere in the kitchen. We'll show you what spruce can do. The oil is primarily used to refine other foods.
