In anticipation of the upcoming holidays, we have discovered the most charming little confection which incorporates all of the enchanting pastel colors of Easter and the traditional flavors of Passover - The Macaron.
The Macaron cookie was actually born in Italy, but inherited by France through the marriage of Catherine de Medici to Henri II in 1533. Now, every French town has their own history surrounding this little delicacy.
These authentic French Maracons are made with almond flour, sugar and egg whites. Delicate yet, crunchy outer layers give way to a lusciously flavored creamy core. Serve these elegant, pillow-y morsels alongside your café au lait in the morning, at teatime and for dessert. Bestow them upon your hostess for the upcoming holidays, and you will be guaranteed an invitation for next year!
Macaron Cookies are Gluten Free, and a colorful assortment of flavors is available in our Pastry Department (just behind the cheese department).
