Technical expertise for the benefit of product consistency

  • Our production tool is reliable and efficient.
  • We have a production capacity of hundreds of thousands of macarons per day.
  • We have designed our own dosing tool for a result that is both regular and worthy of the greatest pastry houses.
  • We use slow and gentle cooking thanks to specific ovens and temperature settings.
  • We monitor the control of the right moisture transfer between fillings and shells for an optimal texture.

All these steps allow us to offer regular macarons, while letting them express their "true nature", like at the neighborhood pastry chef.
