La Rose Noire

Presentation 2013
Fishmongers’ Hall
London
 The range of premium tart shells,
cones and baskets developed by the
renowned Swiss Pastry Chef, Gérard
Dubois, is meticulously hand-crafted
from the finest ingredients, ensuring a
great taste and a crispy texture.

The edges of the tart shells are thin

and straight-edged-typical
characteristics of artisanal
handmade tart shells.

All the interiors of our products are

finely glazed by hand to ensure a good
moisture resistance.

The products are carefully packed

piece by piece in custom-made trays
and vacuum packed to minimise
breakage and ensure freshness.

Each product can be filled, decorated and removed easily from the tray.
A small hole under the blister will facilitate the handling of the product
once garnished. Our range includes a wide selection of sizes, shapes,
colours and flavours.
We are delighted to be the exclusive UK supplier of La Rose Noire.
We are privileged to welcome Gerard Dubois, founder of La Rose Noire and
Jordi Puigvert Colomer, Worldwide Pastry Consultant, to Fishmongers’ Hall on
September 19th 2013.
Having worked as a pastry chef in Switzerland, Gerard went to Asia to continue
his skills in top hotels and restaurants, before opening his first La Rose Noire
Patisserie in the most prestigious shopping mall in Hong Kong in 1991. Since then
La Rose Noire now have over 500 varieties in their product brochure, fulfilling
the needs of all sectors in the market and sell all over the world.
Over the course of his career, Gérard has won numerous distinguished awards
at some of the most esteemed culinary competitions worldwide and is a regular
panel judge at renowned international competitions. Gérard is not unfamiliar
to culinary publications. He is the co-author of “The Cutting Edge: Innovation of
East-West Cuisine of the Twenty First Century” (1993); and the author of “My
Recent Journey” (2003), “Passion.” (2006), which gained a special “Award of the
Jury 2006” honoured by World Cookbook Awards, and “Crafted Passion” (2011),
recently awarded for “Best Dessert Book in the World “ by the 17 GOURMAND
AWARDS in Paris.
Following a career as chef de patisserie in Michelin Star restaurants, Jordi now
runs his own company, working as a consultant and demonstrator for key pastry
brands like Sosa Ingredients, Chocolatier Michel Cluizel, Sicoly as well as La Rose
Noire and travels the world advising on key pastry techniques.
Here we have a collection of the recipes Jordi has created using La Rose Noire
and hope you enjoy recreating them yourselves.

Advice and testimony from the Chef « Jordi Puigvert Colomer »

Basic rules:
1 - Stabilise the water contained in the filling
2 – Thicken the filling
3 – Jellify the filling

Tips:
- Use fat raw materials such as butter, foie gras, cheese, thick cream that naturally retain
moisture
- To thicken and get creamy texture (for example pastry cream, lemon curd etc), stabilise the
liquid content in your preparation, as you would the water content in a fruit puree.
It is recommended to use:
1) Guar gum to thicken a cold application by combining and blending all the ingredients
together
2) Carob gum to thicken a hot application (Mix the Carob gum with your sugar before
you start your recipe)
Both processes will make your preparation freezer stable.

Dosage: 2-3 gr. / litre for Guar gum and Carob gum
- Once the water has been stabilised in your filling, you can also use gelatin leaves (previ-
ously hydrated in cold water) to set the preparation
- If you want to jellify a filling directly into a tart shell, you must work with quick setting
agents such as “Iota” for hot preparations (in order to achieve a soft gel using Iota, pour the
preparation directly into the frozen tart shell and put it back in the fridge or freezer again).
So through the thermal shock, the setting process will be done almost immediately. We can
also combine the Iota with Carob gum to stabilise the water and jellify the preparations at
the same time.You can also use the “Kappa” (vegetable gelatin powder) for hot preparations,
but not on baskets, cones etc..
- Avoid liquid or semi-liquid fillings
- Use dry products such as chocolates, praline paste,...
- Fill the tart shells to the edge in order to prevent moisture uptake from the top.
- You can freeze the products once filled in their trays of origin BUT wrap well with cling
film before putting them in the freezer. Thaw slowly in the refrigerator at 4 ° C to prevent
condensation on products.
- You can also reheat the tarts (sweet or savoury) to enhance the colour or bake them to
cook a raw preparation.

Focus your imagination on the fillings and decorations, by combining specific flavours
together you can make a real difference. For all your tarts, cones and baskets, trust La Rose
Noire.
The care taken in their manufacture provides products with very thin edges and they resist
moisture through a chocolate coating.
