La Maison d’Armorine’s packaging features a retro image of a marmiton, a “chef’s apprentice" who would help in the kitchen with the salted butter, cream, sugar, and bain-marie. It’s an allusion to the old-fashioned way these exquisite caramels are still made by La Maison d’Armorine: in small batches, with fresh Brittany butter, cane sugar, and fleur de sel from Guérande. This is classic Brittany caramel: soft, buttery, and creamy with a lingering tease of salt.

Further Reading: In 1946, Yvonne and Raymond Audebert founded a summer candy stand called "Les Niches" in Quiberon, Brittany, where they served unique long caramel suckers called "Niniches," made with local cream, salt, and butter. This evolved into La Maison d'Armorine, which now offers a range of confections made with local ingredients and traditional methods, still led by the Audebert family.
