French Macarons
The story of Duverger began with a french couple who brought with them the secret of the little almond cookie from Paris. It continued with adding a pinch of childhood flavors and a great deal of love and devotion. Today Duverger still handmakes each macaron using only natural and organic ingredients with absolutely no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. They only use real and raw ingredients, like fresh blueberries and vanilla bean, to produce unrivald natural flavors that is impossible any other way. Each macaron is made by hand in their kitchen. And you’ll never find a trace of artificial flavoring, so called natural compounds, or premixes in theirr macarons.
Our Current Selection of Flavors:
Red Velvet**
Red velvet cake is usually a plush affair—a springy layer cake or cupcake doused in red food coloring and slathered in cream cheese frosting. Transformed into a French macaron, this standby from the American South is dressed up and reined in a bit. Unlike most red velvet, the red in our macaron shells is 100% natural, derived only from fruits and vegetables . But we keep to tradition by sticking with cream cheese for the sweet filling.
Chocolate
Chocolate macarons go with everything, and they also go quickly. It may go without saying, but they are usually brown (from cocoa powder used in the macaron shell batter) and sandwiched with chocolate ganache. We use organic 66% (semi-sweet) dark chocolate sweetened with cane sugar for our ganache and scatter bits of real cocoa nibs over our macaron shells for natural color contrast and crunch.
Salted Caramel
Wildly popular and verging on addictive, a kiss of sea salt knocks homemade caramel over the top. Salted caramel is an iconic French macaron flavor for a reason—chewy yet crunchy, sweet and salty. Both texture and flavor are complex and balanced. The shells range in color from blonde to medium brown (mostly due to coloring agents), and the filling varies from caramel Swiss meringue buttercream to a dark chocolate ganache. We use organic white chocolate to create a ganache with our from-scratch caramel.
Raspberry
Raspberry macarons can be everything from a baby pastel pink to a bold magenta red. They are traditionally filled with raspberry jam. The acidic bite balances the sweetness of the cookie shells. Sometimes, there is just a dollop of jam in the center surrounded by a ring of raspberry buttercream. Freeze-dried raspberries are a fun way to add pink color and surprisingly bright flavor to your baked goods without compromising the texture. While most macarons are tinted pink with artificial dyes (gel or powder food coloring), red vegetables and berries processed into a fine powder can be added to buttercreams and macaron batters and give a lovely color.
Passion Fruit (Seasonal*)
While certainly not widely available in 19th century Paris, the tropical brightness of the passion fruit is perfect for the French macaron. Pure passion fruit puree and cream fill the center of this delicate, airy sandwich. The tiny dots on our yellow macaron shells might look like sprinkles but they are poppy seeds—adding a natural contrast in color and crunch.
