Quiriga chocolate-coated almonds - 200g

A gourmet little pleasure to share and to enhance your holiday tables. It is Catherine de Médicis who makes it a confectionery of French tradition and brings the requirement of quality, the refinement and the typically French elegance that this treats today.

Dragées embody the elegance and refinement of French confectionery.

Their origin dates back to Antiquity and has evolved over the centuries. The first sugared almonds, known as “comfits,” were almonds covered in honey and hardened. These sweets were often used to aid digestion after meals.

During the Renaissance, sugared almonds gained popularity among European nobility where they were often given as gifts on special occasions. Recipes and manufacturing techniques evolved at this time.

Sugared almonds come in a multitude of varieties and colors, meeting the expectations of all occasions, whether weddings, baptisms or simple moments of indulgence.

Almond sugared almonds, classic and timeless, rub shoulders with delicately scented chocolate sugared almonds. The almonds and hazelnuts used are carefully chosen for their taste and texture, then coated with a thin layer of sugar which provides crunch and sweetness.
