From the beginnings there has always been a focus on regionally produced fruits to be used to make the liqueurs. Excellent also as an ingredient for various cocktails.ĭistillerie Morand was established in 1889 in Martigny in the Canton of Valais and produces liquors of the highest quality. Also ideal for desserts on an apricot sorbet, on a scoop of vanilla ice cream or to highlight a chocolate topping. Together with tonic or apricot juice it makes a perfect long-drink. Thanks to its intense and fruity flavor, the Abricotine is ideally enjoyed as a digestif, at room temperature or chilled. When ripe, the apricots are sorted by hand, crushed and then fermented before being distilled. The Distillery operates its own Luizet apricot orchards on the slopes of the town of Saxon. The use of this variety and the exclusive Valais origin are conditions of the AOP. A traditional apricot from the Canton of Valais, Luizet offers incomparable aromatic qualities for the manufacture of this liqueur. 12 kg of the best regional Luizet apricots are used for producing 1 liter of Apricotine.Īpricot Luizet – An inimitable flavor.

Since puff is not yeasted it’s more straight forward in its handling - no worries about the dough bubbling and puffing up during the rolling, cutting and shaping. However my online research found that many recipes call for puff pastry. At Le Cordon Bleu Paris we made them with croissant dough, and those that we’ve found in Parisian pâtisseries have been made that way as well. By the way, here’s a little historical tidbit for you - Algeria gained it’s independence from France on July 5, 1962.ĭuring our various trips-to and stays-in Paris over the years, oranais is always on Steve’s radar - he loves those sunny beauties!! Frankly they’re not often found in the many pastry shops around town so one has to keep an eye out for a good one.
Did you know that Algeria is fourth in apricot production in the world? And let’s not forget that Algeria was once governed by France so there’s still a huge French influence there, both culturally and culinarily (is that even a word?). My research revealed that it reportedly originated in Algeria in and around the port city of Oran - hence the name oranais. lunette aux abricots, croissant aux abricots (en Bretagne) or abricotine (sud de la France). It may go by a different name in various parts of France, e.g. So what is oranais you might ask? A traditional pastry made with either puff pastry or croissant dough, it’s created with a combination of pastry cream and apricot halves. Desirous of doing something a bit different, I opted for my own peach version of oranais. Kinda looks like a double yolked fried egg, eh?Īs we step ever so eagerly into prime baking season and autumn flavors like apples, pears, nuts, caramel, coffee, chocolate and pumpkin, here’s a farewell nod to the delicious summer fruits of west Michigan.
