The atelier of Pierre Marcolini welcomes the most beautiful season with a delicate explosion of citrus fruits. The summer collection is titled “The Citrus Garden” and brings a variety of inspirations.
For several years, Pierre Marcolini has been sublimating his recipes with Asian citrus fruits such as yuzu, Buddha’s hand and sudachi. This summer, the master chocolate maker chose citrus fruits from Southern Europe to satisfy our appetite for goodies.
The chef, striving for an impeccable supply of raw materials, selected the best European producers to bring us the most beautiful citrus of the Mediterranean Sea. Oranges from Valencia, bergamot from Calabria, lemons from Nice … Expect to taste sour notes, spicy zest, tender flesh and the subtle bitterness. In the form of infusions, compotes and candied fruit, their vibrant freshness is even more evident. The result is delicious summer treats.
The collection
Amaretti that melt on the palate, candied fruit with a homemade chocolate coating, original cake or macaroons – Pierre Marcolini’s summer collection is a succession of gastronomic and fruity pleasures. They transport us to an Iberian garden or evoke the sunny perfumes of the beautiful Côte d’Azur. In short, la dolce vita within reach.
