Macarons have a reputation for being one of the most indulgent and delicate French desserts due to their light and airy texture while busting with refined and robust flavours. The Macaron is a sweet almond meringue biscuit shell sandwiched with a flavoursome filling. The filling varies on flavour combinations and include a creamy and smooth ganache, buttercream or jam that have also been made by our expert chefs. These French desserts are so popular because of the delicately sophisticated combination of rich flavour with a crunchy, yet chewy cookie, that melts in your mouth.
The macarons from CACAO have been made with a refined process to ensure maximum quality giving the macaron a crispy outer shell and moist interior. Our professional and expert pastry chefs and chocolatiers take the time to hand make each of our custom macarons to indulgent perfection with enhanced flavour combinations.

FAQ

How long do macarons last for?
After purchasing, we recommend keeping your macarons in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. Of course, only if you are not eating them straight away. To enjoy macarons at their optimum flavour and texture, they are best eaten at room temperature. We do not suggest that you freeze your macarons as they are extremely fragile and if frozen, ice crystals can form within the delicate meringue shell. When the macarons are left to defrost, these ice crystals will create moisture which, in turn, will cause the light shell of the meringue to collapse.
