Arrop i tallaetes
One of the most singular preparations of Valencian tradition, revived with an artisan's perspective.
Felipe Vallés, who leads Maese Confitero, works from a small workshop and has made the revival of traditional preparations his hallmark.
Among his few references is this arrop i tallaetes, a recipe with deep Valencian roots that is now very hard to find.
Made with grape must and pumpkin, the arrop is obtained through the slow reduction of the must until its flavours and aromas concentrate, while the tallaetes contribute their tender, yielding texture.
The result is a sweet with a deep, dark and slightly acidic flavour, in which the intensity of the must wraps around the softness of the pumpkin.
An artisan preparation, free from colourings, thickeners and anti-fermentation agents, which preserves the essence of a near-vanished Valencian sweet and the personal hallmark of a confectioner who has chosen to make few things, but to make them exceptionally well.
Available in two presentations: the standard format and a special edition in a clay vessel, a Valencian-inspired presentation that enhances the traditional character of the product and makes it a particularly beautiful option for gifting.
