It was in 1985 that the Flocon d'Ariège was invented by Claude Laurent, a confectioner living in La Tour de Crieu, a small village in the department of Ariège. He wanted to create a specialty for this “département” of France as there was none. He came up with the “flocons d'Ariège”, literally meaning the flakes of Ariège. Although it rarely snows in Ariège, he wanted to pay tribute to the snowy mountains of the “Pyrénées ariégeoises”. The Pyrenees are a range of mountains in the southwest of France that forms a natural border between France and Spain. They extend for about 267 miles from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea. The Pyrenees cross many regions and départements and they are called “Pyrénées ariégeoises” when they cross the département of Ariège.
Ingredients: sugar, hazelnuts, cocoa butter, egg white, vanilla.
