Clement Faugier - Candied Chestnuts / Marrons Glaces France - 6 pieces - 4.93oz / 140gr Metal box * Recognized as a particularly fine confectionery, Marron Glace requires a high quality raw material as well as the know-how of a master confectioner. From the fruit, then protected by its thorny bug, picked up in the chestnut groves during the fall, to the delicious delicacy coiled in its packaging, sixteen steps will be necessary to make it. The saga of the Clement Faugier Establishments, or how two families linked their history to that of the Ardeche chestnut. It was in 1882, when the local Ardeche silkworm farming economy was going through a crisis due to an epidemic, that Clement Faugier, a young local man, created the first Marrons Glaces factory in Privas. With a gastronomic tradition, he combines innovation and audacity, thus carrying out the industrial production of Marron Glace while retaining the qualities of artisanal know-how. The history of Etablissements Clement Faugier will merge with that of brown. The transmission of know-how was perpetuated by the children, in particular Charles Faugier "master confectioner" whose son, Jean, will join the Boiron family, the main supplier of chestnuts. Since 1970, Claude Boiron and today his son Jean-David Boiron have been president of the destiny of the company, perpetuating the tradition established by Clement FAUGIER. Thus linking the two ends of the chain, from quality chestnuts and chestnuts to a production that respects traditions, the Etablissements Clement Faugier today tell a story made up of passion and constancy, where the meeting of two professional practices, such as of personal destinies, combine perfectly.
