A story of cooking and texture

Reims pink biscuits belong to the biscuit-making tradition of Champagne. Their story is associated with baking twice and drying the dough. To understand the texture, compare the dry biscuit with a sponge finger rather than trying to reproduce a manufacturer’s recipe.

Why check color and ingredients?

Carmine is traditionally associated with its pink color. This matters for certain diets: a beautiful color does not provide information on the exact composition of a product. Consult the label of the package purchased; Don't assume that all brands or recipes use the same ingredients.

A tasting possible without alcohol

First taste the biscuit alone, then possibly choose a non-alcoholic drink according to your preferences. In a dessert, it can serve as a base or decoration, like other dry biscuits. Avoid presenting champagne dipping as a cultural obligation or an activity intended for children.

Choosing the right gourmet souvenir

Check the date, condition of the package, allergens and storage instructions. To offer, keep the packaging and its list of ingredients. If you are looking for a visit or a workshop, consult the manufacturer's actual offers: purchasing a package in store does not give access to production.
