Immerse yourself in the gourmet world of Boulay’s famous macaroons during a tasty, authentic visit to the heart of the factory in Boulay-Moselle. On Friday July 17 at 2pm, join Jacques Alexandre and his team as they go behind the scenes of this emblematic specialty, whose reputation extends far beyond the borders of Lorraine. A blend of tradition, craftsmanship and a passion handed down from generation to generation, this tour invites you to discover the history of a product that has become a veritable symbol of the local gastronomic heritage.
During this 45-minute tour, you’ll see a demonstration of how the famous macaroons are made, and learn a few of their secrets… without ever revealing the century-old recipe that has been preserved since 1854. Made using only fresh almonds, sugar and egg whites, these macaroons are distinguished by their soft texture, delicately sweet taste and subtle almond fragrance. Handmade with a spoon, they perpetuate an artisanal know-how recognized by the prestigious Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant label.
This gourmet immersion also provides an insight into the attachment of an entire town to this unmissable specialty. A veritable jewel of French savoir-faire, the Boulay macaroon has been part of the region’s receptions and festivities for over a century. And to prolong the pleasure, each participant will leave with a small delicacy to enjoy.
Let yourself be tempted by this visit full of flavors and traditions, and discover the secrets of a gourmet institution in Lorraine. Reserve your place for July 17 and share a convivial moment at the heart of Boulay-Moselle’s exceptional culinary heritage.
