France is the country of gastronomy and art. The French love artisanal products. It goes without saying that the local French brands thrive under this respect of traditions. Therefore, when we set up our store, we aimed (we still are!!) to discover these hidden French handmade gems, hoping to find some unique French foods that cannot be found in Hong Kong. At the same time, it’s also a way to help promote French artisanal products.
THE FERTILE SOILS IN NORMANDY & GÂTINAIS
Today’s about our Salted Butter Caramel & Apple Cookies and Honey Cookies made by the abbey “Abbaye Saint-Wandrille” in Normandy. The fertile Normandy soil means that the apples harvested there are especially juicy and tasty. During the harvest season, it is said that the Normandy orchards are filled with the aroma of apples. No wonder their apples are an important crop in this northwest region of France! The honey cookies, on the other hand, are baked with the honey from the Gâtinais region in France. The region allows the bees to bring in the rapeseed and dandelion pollens when they turn nectar into honey, so the delicious honey has the subtle flavours of the pollens that are added to the cookies.
CAN’T STOP NIBBLING
Apart from the wonderful fresh apples and honey, French caramel, butter, and fresh eggs are also added, differentiating their aromatic flavours from other mass productions. Not exaggerating, the fruitiness from the small apple cubes, the faint buttery taste, and the honey do make a difference. I always find myself unconsciously eating a few pieces!!
