Lacson works with small farmers and producers not only in Paris but all over France to develop and import delicious local specialties and traditional sweets, sometimes even creating original treats. Each product is imbued with various stories, such as the passion of the maker and the local food culture and history. It is our role at Lacson to convey these passions and the deliciousness that has been carefully crafted. We hope you will experience the feeling of taking a little trip to France.
"You'll discover new flavors you've never known before by adding a little something extra to your everyday life."
Olivier from Luxon.
It all started in the beautiful mountains of the French Alps. When you think of France, what is the first place you picture?
Of course, the first thing that comes to mind is Paris, with its sophisticated and stylish streets, gourmet food, cutting edge fashion, and more.
But did you know that there are many small regions of France that you may not know about? Yes, there are many things that even I, a French person, did not know about or took for granted.
Have you ever heard of a place called the Alps?
This is the place where I personally felt the greatest charm of the countryside, and it is the origin of Lacson .
Surrounded by stunning mountains such as Mont Blanc, many people will be reminded of Heidi. The Alps are a magnificent mountain range that spans Switzerland, France, Italy, Germany, Austria, and more.
Living in the French Alps, I am constantly reminded of the blessings of nature. French honey is raw, unheated honey. I learned this from meeting Arno, a beekeeper in the mountains.
Mountain honey is honey collected from plants that grow at high altitudes. Like wine, its flavor changes with the seasons of the year. It's a luxury, isn't it?
I was also surprised to find that they also have honey made from fir trees, a tree that is representative of the Alps. The taste is exceptional and fascinating, unlike anything I have ever tasted before.
Savoie Biscuit, a traditional Alpine dessert
I was once invited to a dinner at a neighbor's house in the Alps , and Biscuit de Savoie was served afterwards.
Among the many heavy sweets, I was impressed by the light and fluffy texture of this one. It was baked in a kugelhopf mold with a hole in the middle.
Is this baked in a biscuit savoie mold ?
When I heard that...
He said that they probably existed in the past, but he has never actually seen any Savoie type ones.
He decided to search for the original Savoie type, and this is how the story of Lacson began.
