Brittle is a very beautiful, but also difficult product. Here you can find practical tips about working with brittle.
- Store our brittle in a cool, air-tight and dry place at around 16°.
- During processing, you should ensure that the container is sealed well again after removing the brittle and the final product is processed quickly. Brittle is sensitive to moisture!
- To process brittle blanks, ideally use nougat or butter ganache. Alcohol should not be added in this case as the liquid makes the brittle soft.
- If you fill our brittle shells and brittle eggs, ideally use a fine nougat. This is also available in a liquid form and can be mixed at a ratio of 1000g liquid nougat and 300g tempered couverture chocolate. This mass is immediately ready for filling. In combination with brittle, nougat adds an outstandingly flavourful note and is also suitable for prolonged storage.
- You can also fill our brittle shells and brittle eggs with an aqueous mass. Insulating the walls with chocolate is then unavoidable. Ideally, this takes place using the one-shot technique. Most blister items are standardised for this procedure
- For all of the shapes that are put together, we offer a folding frame (item no.: 8000) with various adapter inserts. We will be happy to advise you on this.
>> Useful tools - You naturally obtain genuine brittle products from us with premium confectionary quality. This means our brittle does not generally undergo any pre-treatment. For this reason, you must either cover your finished items with cocoa butter, brittle lacquer (item no.: 9000) or couverture chocolate. We will be happy to offer you pre-treated varieties on request.
>> Individual manufacture - A less hygroscopic version which is ideal for decorative purposes is our isomalt brittle. We will be happy to make you an offer for this.
We wish you every success with your brittle creations!
