French Brioche: a rich culinary heritage

Brioche, a rich, soft, and slightly sweet bakery item, finds origins in Normandy, France. The term “Brioche” comes from the old French word “brier”, meaning “to crush the dough”. Over the centuries, brioche has transcended regional boundaries, spreading to various regions across France, resulting in over 30 distinct variations, each with its unique local touch. Some famous French classics are the Brioche Parisienne, Brioche Nanterre, Brioche De Metz, Brioche Vendéenne, … In recent years, brioche has evolved into a worldwide phenomenon, with over 1,000 new brioche products launched across more than 60 countries.

Brioche is traditionally enjoyed either as part of breakfast or as a dessert, often accompanied by coffee, tea, or hot chocolate. However, its versatility allows it to be savored at any time of day, depending on individual preferences and cultural customs.

The versatility of brioche is boundless, offering an extensive array of indulgent variations, from classic cream fillings and chocolate to more adventurous additions like Matcha. Elevate your brioche creations with our premium selection of offerings, including grains and seeds, fruit, cream, chocolate, and nut fillings, as well as luxurious Belcolade chocolate.
