Biscuits Fossier
Biscuits Fossier is a renowned French biscuit company, known for its signature product, the Pink Biscuit of Reims. The company's history dates back to 1756, making it one of the oldest biscuit manufacturers in France.
History[edit | edit source]
The origins of Biscuits Fossier can be traced back to the 18th century, when the company was established in Reims, a city in the Champagne region of France. The company was founded by a baker named M. Fossier, who is credited with the creation of the Pink Biscuit, a unique product that has since become a symbol of the region's gastronomy.
Products[edit | edit source]
The most famous product of Biscuits Fossier is the Pink Biscuit. This biscuit is characterized by its distinctive pink color, which is achieved through the addition of carmine, a natural dye. The biscuit is traditionally enjoyed dipped in Champagne or red wine.
In addition to the Pink Biscuit, Biscuits Fossier also produces a range of other biscuits and pastries, including macarons, madeleines, and croquignoles, a type of crunchy biscuit.
Production Process[edit | edit source]
The production process of the Pink Biscuit is a closely guarded secret of Biscuits Fossier. The biscuits are baked twice, a method known as biscuiting, which gives them their characteristic hardness. The first baking process is carried out at a high temperature, while the second baking is done at a lower temperature to dry out the biscuits.
Cultural Significance[edit | edit source]
The Pink Biscuit of Reims has a significant cultural importance in the Champagne region. It is often served at celebrations and special occasions, and is a popular souvenir for tourists visiting the area. The biscuit is also used in various local recipes, such as the Charlotte, a dessert made with layers of biscuits and cream.
