Focus on Toppings
What is a topping?
The term "topping" refers to any addition placed on a dish to enhance it at the moment of serving. It represents an extra layer that can bring flavors, textures, or an enhanced appearance to the basic preparation. Toppings are highly versatile and can be sweet or savory, crunchy or creamy, and come in various forms.
The use of toppings dates back several centuries, with varied origins across culinary cultures. In Italian cuisine, for example, pizzas were traditionally topped with various ingredients such as tomatoes, cheeses, and aromatic herbs. In Asia, sushi often includes condiments like sesame seeds or soy sauce.
Toppings have become popular worldwide due to culinary globalization, allowing everyone to experiment with and personalize their dishes according to their preferences.

The black, golden, and white sesame seeds come from the Sesamum indicum plant and are rich in calcium, iron, and unsaturated fatty acids.

Fleur de sel from Guérande, harvested by hand from the salt marshes of the region, is naturally rich in minerals and trace elements. Breton seaweeds such as nori and dulse, sourced from the Brittany coast, are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, adding a characteristic salty and iodine-rich touch to this blend.
