La Maison d’Armorine’s charming packaging features a retro image of a marmiton, a “chef’s apprentice”—in bygone days often a youth. This particular waif helps 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: with fresh Brittany butter and fleur de sel from Guérande. This is classic Brittany caramel: soft, buttery and creamy with a lingering tease of salt.
