LA PATELIERE candied fruit are confectioned by our master confectioner following the purest traditional methods.

Originally, candied fruit were not a delicacy, but a means of preserving fruit when the harvest season had passed. Candying a fruit actually consists of replacing the water content with a sugar-based syrup to preserve the fruit: osmosis occurs between the flesh of the fruit and this luscious nectar.

Simple in appearance, but much more complex in reality, candying has several stages to it. The preparation of each piece of fruit requires particular care. Some are pitted (Morello cherries), and others are peeled (oranges, water melon and so on). The following stages are blanching, bathing in sugar, simmering, and finally draining to separate the fruit from the syrup.

Our know-how ensures our fruits preserve their softness, aroma and flavour.

Working with natural produce is demanding and requires boundless creativity: the talent of our flavourists, who are at the heart of our flavourings, overflows with inventiveness! Inventors of signature flavours and new emotions. They draw naturally-derived raw materials together into exciting new mixes, creating unexpected associations. We finalise the mixture using our constantly reinvented industrial expertise.

The creativity of LA PATELIERE delivers on its promises: with more than 30 products, our flavouring range provides you with the widest choice of aromas to give a mouth-watering and wholesome effect, whatever you are making. Our products are concentrated to give a precise dose for all your creations, such as ice cream, biscuits, dairy desserts, pastries, and so on.

LA PATELIERE selects the best coffees and vanilla pods to expertly and delicately extract the flavours and aromas, obtaining subtle natural extracts with a consistent quality of flavour.

We only source Bourbon-Madagascar vanilla. It is carefully selected and extracted. The vanilla pods produce a natural extract with an unmatched aromatic richness.

Our love for quality products and slow, meticulous processes is ongoing at LA PATELIERE. Our staff transfer their expertise and their passion over time.

The constancy of the flavour and aroma of our extracts more than justifies the trust placed in us, not only by consumers, but also by many baking and patisserie professionals.

For a long time now, we have been providing solutions for problems related to preservation, texture and emulsifying for all kinds of culinary situations.

We manufacture and offer specialities based on natural products, with various culinary uses: vanilla sugar, phosphate- and gluten-free baking powder, and so on.
