Noir Absolu A king cake designed as a work of art

Noir Absolu: the King Cake that breaks the rules

Forget the golden sheen and flaky shine of traditional king cakes. With Noir Absolu, Prova Gourmet delivers, through the vision of Tristan Rousselot, a radical and daring creation.
Here, the cake does not seek to catch the light: it absorbs it. Black becomes substance, depth, silence. More than a pastry, Noir Absolu is a reflection on color, texture, and aromatic intensity.

An aesthetic inspired by Outrenoir

At first glance, the Noir Absolu king cake asserts a deep, matte black, almost hypnotic. This visual approach naturally evokes the world of Pierre Soulages and his iconic Outrenoirs, where light emerges from relief rather than color.
In the same spirit, Tristan Rousselot treats the surface of the cake like a living canvas: the crust is sculpted, textured, expressive.

The key role of CAVIANI vanilla concentrate

To achieve this visual and aromatic intensity, the chef relies on CAVIANI, crafted from the heart of Bourbon vanilla pods from Madagascar.
The precise use of this vanilla concentrate allows for:

- accurate and consistent dosing,

- immediate aromatic power,

- a constant depth of flavor.

Shaped matter, the story of vanilla

Formed in a textured mold, the surface of Noir Absolu bears the delicate imprints of vanilla pods. Each groove, each vein recalls the wood of the spice, as if vanilla itself had imprinted its memory into the dough.
The king cake becomes a sensory landscape, a narrative of origin, where the material tells the story of the ingredient’s nobility.

At the cut: a striking continuity

When sliced, the black extends inward. The dark frangipane merges seamlessly with the crust, creating a powerful visual unity.
Far from being austere, this deep hue evokes the extreme concentration of vanilla, its woody, powdery richness. Here, black becomes synonymous with elegance, purity, and intensity.

Tasting: a complete experience

On the palate, the visual promise unfolds into a fully immersive sensory experience.
The texture is silky, dense, and enveloping. Vanilla notes develop with breadth—woody, powdery, warm, almost meditative.
Noir Absolu plays on a fascinating duality:

- the graphic rigor of the design,

- the generosity and sensuality of flavor.

This king cake does not seek to shine: through black, it reveals the absolute essence of vanilla.

A manifesto cake, at the crossroads of art and taste

Noir Absolu is not a simple king cake.

It is a sensory journey, where visual depth prepares the palate for aromatic richness.
A tribute to vanilla, a paradoxical spice—discreet yet radiant, comforting yet powerful.
A singular creation in which black becomes the ultimate setting for absolute flavor.
