The macaroons we offer are true delights of French cuisine, enjoyed by both young and old for their soft texture and exquisite taste.
In this article, we reveal the best tips for preserving your macaroons and ensuring they remain fresh and flavorful for as long as possible ;)
To preserve your macaroons in the best conditions, follow these essential tips. First, store them in an airtight container to protect them from the surrounding air, which could dry them out, making them harder. Then put them in the refrigerator, in the vegetable compartment. Placing them in an airtight container will protect them from fridge odors, thus preventing their flavors from being altered.
To ensure optimal tasting of your macaroons after refrigeration, remember to take them out 1 hour before tasting. Returning to room temperature will allow them to regain their ideal texture.
In the absence of a refrigerator, it is recommended to store the macaroons in an airtight container, in a cool and dry place, away from heat and humidity.
Our traditional macaroons have a remarkable characteristic: they can be preserved for up to 6 months, made possible by their specific packaging!
These delights are packaged under protective atmosphere. Packaging under a "protective atmosphere" consists of modifying the composition of the internal atmosphere of a package in order to improve its shelf life. Thus, our macaroons preserve their soft texture and exquisite flavor for several months to the great delight of gourmets.
To check if your macaroons are still good, it's simple! First, you should know that our Macaroons do not have an expiration date but a BBD (Best Before Date), but what does that mean exactly?
Imagine, today, as you are about to enjoy a well-deserved coffee break, your eyes fall on a box of macaroons that was purchased several months ago. You vaguely remember buying them during a gourmet shopping outing, but now you wonder if these delights are still worthy of your discerning palate.
You grab the box and your eyes land on the best before date which has passed. You might think, "Do these macaroons still have that je ne sais quoi that makes them irresistible, even after all this time?" Remember that this date is not a sentence for quality, but rather an indication. It simply indicates the period during which the manufacturer guarantees that the product is at its peak in terms of taste and texture. For customers like you, accustomed to excellence, this may seem like a dilemma.
But here's the good news: macaroons are rather robust delights. Unlike some products that can quickly lose their appeal once the BBD has passed, macaroons, when stored correctly, can retain their exquisite flavor for some time beyond this date. By keeping them in an airtight container at room temperature or even in the refrigerator, you can extend their freshness and savor every bite. If you haven't stored them optimally, our little delights will only be drier and will have lost their softness (but not their flavors).
In short, macaroons are like those gastronomic treasures that reward patient connoisseurs. So, even if the date on the packaging has passed, you can rest assured that these little sweet jewels will always bring a touch of elegance and pleasure to your personal tasting moments or family gatherings.
Traveling with macaroons from La Biscuiterie de Provence is a real pleasure! Thanks to the packaging of these delights, you can take them with you wherever you go without worrying about them getting damaged. You can easily slip these cakes into your carry-on or suitcase without any worries.
This ease of transport makes macaroons from the Provence Biscuit Factory an ideal choice for bringing a touch of Provencal delight wherever you go, whether it's for a business trip, a vacation, or simply to give to your loved ones. So, enjoy these little sweet pleasures with peace of mind during your travels, and let yourself be carried away by the exquisite flavors of Provence wherever you are, whether it's Valrhona chocolate, Menton lemon, lavender...
Perfect! You now have all the keys to fully enjoy the delicious macaroons from the Provence Biscuit Factory. Enjoy!
