Truffle macaron (tuber Melanosporum)

Inspirations :

This macaron made with black truffle is a product to take in a special, unique moment. The idea is that it is also an ephemeral product that is only served during the fresh truffle season.
The proposal is that only a certain number of units per day are put up for sale and that they are sold in a "unitary" way in an individualized special packaging.
The aim is to accentuate this sense of exclusivity and instant luxury during the tasting of this unique product.
In the design of the product we have pulverized the macaron with powdered gold and we have placed flakes of fresh truffle and smoked salt.
