We pay homage to one of the most beloved French cookies, the petit beurre, and turn it into an even more decadent treat by pairing it with a layer of creamy and salty Gianduja.
A few caramelized hazelnuts and a little gold leaf to finish these petits beurres and what was once a humble cookie becomes a sophisticated and delicious preparation your customers will love.
Matcha, with its slightly earthy and bitter, but exquisitely aromatic notes, has become one of those flavors no one can resist.

A treat made to be eaten and enjoyed using all the senses.
