Our artisanal company has been making Florentines since 1965. Despite its appearance of a small pancake, the traditional Florentine is not a dry cake: in fact, it does not contain wheat flour or any other cereal! The secret of this crunchy delicacy? Nougatine, a classic whose production requires the technical know-how of master confectioners. Made with honey and cream with added almonds and candied oranges, this preparation must be heated to 118°C, which allows it to brown very slightly when boiling without browning.
The ingredients of the Florentine are rare, more expensive and much more sought after than those of an almond biscuit. Thus, the nougatine costs up to 30% more than a cookie dough made from flour. Honey, a precious ingredient, and fresh cream, delicate and fragile, complete the recipe. The traditional Florentine is therefore a luxurious product, which guarantees you a quality tasting thanks to authentic, good and healthy ingredients!

RIGOROUSLY SELECTED INGREDIENTS
Our Florentines are made in La Chapelle-sur-Erdre, in our laboratory located in Loire-Atlantique. To make our chocolate delicacies, we use fresh products purchased from independent producers. The unique flavor of our Florentines comes from the excellence of our local raw materials, combined according to a specific recipe.
