We are proud to announce the eighteenth "child" in our macaroon family! We are constantly thinking of new flavours that our clients would enjoy and this launch makes us quite excited - we cannot wait to hear your feedback!
Ilze
is particularly fond of citrus fruit, from the time when she was picking oranges and mandarines (we referred to them as "naartjies" in South Africa) as a child in the orchard of the farm on which she grew up. For her it has a more distinctive taste than an orange and she felt that she could capture it very well in a filling for a new macaroon. ( Wikipedia
points out that there are actually two ways to write the name of this delicious citrus fruit: both "mandarin" and "mandarine" would do. We opted for mandarine, which not only distinguishes the fruit from the language, but also somehow is more consistent with the spelling of tangerine, which is a related fruit.)
Because Ilze was introduced to a wide variety of fruit from an early age, she developed a real love for fruit and always felt very strongly about capturing "real" flavours and not chemically derived imitations (even if it means that our products have a shorter shelf-life).
With this addition we now have eight macaron fruit flavours, namely blueberry, apricot, lemon, raspberry, mango and orange, passion fruit, strawberry and mandarine.
Which are our most popular flavours, you might ask? As always, this is a very personal thing and some flavour preferences are "seasonal" or more popular for occasions such as weddings. Chocolate and Hazelnut are "warmer", comfort tastes, and therefore might be more popular in winter, while "sharper" flavours like lemon could be more popular during warmer months. Nevertheless, from what we see other clients select, we could suggest that you include the following flavours in your selection: Raspberry, Rock Salt, Vanilla, Hazelnut, English Toffee, Lemon and Pistachio.
Having said that, as we are now experiencing the first chills of winter, a fruity flavour may be just what is required to take you back to those glorious summer days, so why not try the Mandarine?
