FAQ – Everything you need to know about our Basque vanilla ET chocolate macarons
A Basque macaron is a traditional sweet treat made primarily with almonds, sugar and egg whites. Unlike the Parisian macaron, which consists of two shells sandwiched around a filling, the Basque macaron stands out for its simple shape, soft texture and delicious almond flavour. An authentic speciality closely linked to the culinary heritage of the Basque Country.
The history of the Basque macaron goes back several centuries. The tradition is particularly well established in Saint-Jean-de-Luz, where this almond-based delicacy has become one of the town’s emblematic specialities. Passed down through generations, the recipe has retained its essential character: simple ingredients with almonds at its heart.
The box contains 6 handcrafted Basque macarons: 3 vanilla and 3 chocolate. Vanilla brings delicate, fragrant notes, while chocolate offers a richer, more intense cocoa flavour. Two complementary flavours to enjoy in one delicious assortment.
Enjoy them on their own or with coffee or tea. For an extra-indulgent break, vanilla macarons pair beautifully with a delicately flavoured hot drink, while chocolate macarons are an excellent match for coffee with roasted notes. They are also perfect as a dessert or an afternoon treat.
Keep your macarons away from heat and humidity to preserve their texture and flavours. For the best tasting experience, we recommend enjoying them within 10 to 15 days of receiving your order.
