The fruit jellies are from Corsica, the candied chestnuts from Colobrière, the marshmallows directly from La Meringaie… all the confections are handcrafted, supported by very specialized expertise.
The French artisanal confections are true sweet delights that call upon our sweetest childhood memories. Fruit jellies, candied chestnuts, or artisanal marshmallows, the artisanal confections are part of our French gastronomic heritage.
The artisanal spread
Who says snack, crepes, waffles, or toast says chocolate spreads. It’s hard to imagine a Candlemas or breakfast without this smooth hazelnut chocolate artisanal spread. The star of artisanal spreads made from hazelnuts, chocolate, or cocoa is the favorite of French people and food lovers around the world.
It’s our passion for dark chocolate that inspired us to create our own homemade spread. Delicately scented with hazelnuts, supported by the depth of intense dark chocolate, our ultra-gourmet recipe will make you completely addicted. Made in our workshop in Paris, La Meringaie spread is particularly appreciated by dark chocolate enthusiasts. It is also the artisanal spread we use for our homemade pastries. The smoothness of our homemade spread will give your recipes and sponges an unparalleled flavor.
The artisanal marshmallow
Another essential of traditional French confectionery, the artisanal marshmallow ! Colored in pastel tones, soft and deliciously flavored, the marshmallow is the lightest candy we know. Mentioned in one of the passionate letters of the Marquis de Sade in 1774, marshmallow has existed since the Renaissance. A clever mix of egg white and sugar, this delicate soft candy comes in a multitude of flavors to delight the most discerning palates.
La Meringaie offers its own recipe of artisanal marshmallow delicately flavored with orange blossom and lime. What could be more surprising than the combination of this soft and tasty texture with the gentle bitterness of citrus? Our small bags of artisanal marshmallows, perfect for taking anywhere, are a real hit with those who have a sweet tooth and a child's heart.
The artisanal fruit jelly
Already known to our Roman ancestors and originating from the Middle East, the artisanal fruit jelly is a very old tradition. Initially motivated by the need to preserve harvested fruits for as long as possible, its preparation required cooking them slowly and mixing them with honey, and later with sugar. Despite the clever culinary trick, this method of preparing fruits allowed for the preservation of their aromas and made them even more delicious and soft.
Long limited to seasonal fruits, fruit jelly was traditionally made with quinces, apples, cherries, or apricots. Starting from the Renaissance, confectionery artisans began to use their imagination, offering increasingly exotic flavors. At La Meringaie, we have taken flavor exploration further by offering you exotic and original fruit jellies.
Available in our stores in the heart of Paris, you can also buy our boxes and bags of artisanal fruit jellies directly on our website and have them delivered to your home very quickly. It’s an opportunity to let yourself be seduced by our assortment of colors and gourmet flavors.
