Ditch your pesky unhealthy snacking habits for something more nourishing. Olivia Niddam, founder of luxury confectionery The BonBonist, has just launched Maison Kārya, a premium atelier priding itself on its artisanal selection of nuts.
Niddam and her team painstakingly source premium nuts from around the world, including cashews from Vietnam, pistachios from Turkey, and macadamias from Australia, and work with expert roasters and chocolatiers in France and Vietnam to prepare them to perfection.
This March, Maison Kārya is debuting its collection in a pop-up store at Pacific Place, giving Hongkongers the chance to browse the brand’s signature flavours, meet the team, and purchase exclusive small-batch releases and gift box sets.
Highlights to look out for include truffle-coated cashews, za’atar almonds inspired by Middle Eastern flavours, as well as wasabi cashews for a spicy kick. Alternatively, Maison Kārya also stocks plenty of chocolate-coated options for those with a sweet tooth, such as milk and dark chocolate hazelnuts, salted caramel milk chocolate almonds, milk and dark chocolate crunchy corn, and plenty more. Plus, the atelier has also launched two spreads – crunchy hazelnut chocolate and intense chocolate hazelnut spread – that make for great toppers for bread and biscuit, or for glutinous spoonfuls straight from the jar when no one’s looking.
Visit Maison Kārya’s pop-up at Area 1E, Level 1, Pacific Place from March 23 to July 22.
