THE MACAROON, A SYMBOL OF REFINEMENT TO BE ENJOYED AS A LOVER
In the colorful world of French pastries , it goes without saying that the macaron stands out. It must be said that this little gem has had a few centuries to forge its reputation. Consumed since the Middle Ages in the Middle East in the form of a small almond biscuit, the macaron was brought back to France by Catherine de Medici before becoming one of the flagship delicacies of the court of Versailles .
It took many developments for the macaron as we know it today to be born, with its melting ganache in the embrace of two light and crunchy shells: the Paris macaron.
Today, the macaron symbolizes French refinement . Like a diamond that concentrates all the strength of the mountains in a few grams of mineral, the macaron is a concentrate of flavor and know-how that can be appreciated in a single bite. Each macaron is therefore a precious product, which invites you to take full advantage of the present moment to draw out all its beauty. Isn't this the prerogative of an ideal Valentine's Day gift ?
