Maison Craquelin’s crunchy Provencal delicacies

Installed in La Ciotat, entre between the hills of Provence and the calanques, Maison Craquelin puts together gourmet recipes for hand-made biscuits inspired by Provencal flavours.

The Cookies de Provence, a unique creation made in La Ciotat

The Provence brand, whose ambition is to promote the Provencal territory and the savoir-faire which characterises it, has developed a collection of by-products from local artisan productions. Among the partners chosen by the Provence brand is Maison Craquelin, specialised in the making of hand-made biscuits. To celebrate this culinary collaboration,  Maison Craquelin has developed a recipe for an unusual cookie which associates two typically Provencal ingredients: almonds and apricots. When you bite into it, you’ll get the sweet crunchiness of almonds which blend perfectly with the fragrant, sugary taste of apricot. With a little touch of white chocolate for more sweetness and indulgence!

Recipes with Provencal inspiration

Of course, it’s no coincidence if the Provence brand wished to associate with Maison Craquelin: attached to their region, the two founder friends of Maison Craquelin, David and Nicolas, are keen on transmitting the great flavours of Provence through their preparations. Helped by their pastry cooks, they get their leur inspiration from this local environment so rich in tastes, reinventing traditional French and Provencal recipes, in the same way as for their Cookies de Provence developed specially for the Provence brand. They make biscuits with precision, balance and sophistication and they won’t leave you indifferent.

The art of hand-made

If the choice of ingredients is all-important, the way they are prepared also makes all the difference. This is why biscuit making at Maison Craquelin is 100% artisanal. No products of the Maison contain artificial preservatives, colouring or aromas, which guarantees a more healthy and natural eating. More precisely, the pastry cooks at Maison Craquelin do everything by hand, from kneading to forming. Even the citrus fruit zests are grated by hand! This authentic savoir-faire and the will to offer products made with love and passion are certainly the key ingredients which have allowed Maison Craquelin to conquer the palates of gourmets and have the success they currently have.
