Only high quality ingredients, including French first-class chocolate Valrhona, to ensure a gourmet experience. Macarons are composed of: almonds, sugar, water, cream, chocolate, fruit purée, egg whites. The product is gluten-free, but contains an allergen to lactose, nuts and sesame.

— Ingredients

Italian meringue gives the macaron this perfect shine. Then a mixture of ground almonds and sugar is added to the meringue to create the "appareil", as it is called in French. The macaron shell is handmade with a hand spray bag. The baking tray is lightly shaken so that the macaron settles well before baking for 20-25 minutes.

— Shell

The filling is usually made from what we call in French "ganache", which is a mixture of chocolate and cream.

Great care must be taken when placing the filling to achieve the classic macaron texture – crackling on the outside, creamy on the inside.
