How to give the traditional Galette des Rois a twist
We love a traditional French Galette des Rois. Very much. But a beautiful almond cream is always happy to have a little company. A fruity touch, a spoonful of pistachio spread or a drizzle of caramel: our artisanal creations make it easy to reinvent this Epiphany classic without losing what matters most — the pleasure of sharing it.

For a more contemporary pistachio Galette des Rois, Pistachio Supreme brings a creamy texture, intense nutty flavour and delicious crunchy pieces. Pair it with almond… or add a touch of raspberry for a fresh and fruity contrast.
Discover Pistachio Supreme →Salted Butter Caramel
Drizzle a little salted butter caramel over a warm slice of Galette des Rois and the debate over who gets the best piece can officially begin again. Smooth, generous and just salty enough.
Discover Salted Butter Caramel →Sweet Orange Jam
Sweet orange brings a fresh, vibrant note to the richness of almond cream and puff pastry. A fruity pairing for anyone who likes their Galette des Rois a little less traditional.

Apricot and almond go back a long way in French pastry: glazing a galette with apricot jam is a technique as old as the recipe itself. A velvety texture, just the right acidity, and puff pastry with a proper shine.
