Nancy’s real Macaron? It’s the Macaron des Soeurs.
This delicious crunchy meringue cookie with a tender center and taste of roasted almonds is made only from sugar, egg whites and French almonds.
The original recipe for these Macarons is a secret that is carefully guarded. For more than two centuries, these cakes have become a staple of Lorraine gastronomy and Lorraine Heritage.
La Maison des Sœurs Macarons is the oldest artisanal Macaron confectionery in Nancy. Founded in 1793, it is the sole holder of the true secret of the authentic recipe of the Macaron Sisters at the origin of the Macaron de Nancy.
The company has been officially registered as a Living Heritage company since 2012.
If certain know-how of Nancy pastry chefs can be a source of confusion, the real secret of the authentic recipe of the Macaron Sisters has only been transmitted to four families since its creation. This recipe is currently owned by Nicolas Génot.
