How to Store Macaroons? 2 Little Tips to Keep All Their Flavors.
Macaroons are too good, but they are not cheap!
Considering the price, it is better to know how to keep them rather than going broke for nothing. You can not find ?
If you agree with me, this little tip should be of interest to you.
Whether you buy macaroons at the supermarket, at Pierre Hermé, Ladurée (you really want to spend the money!), Leonidas, baillardran or you make them at home, know that these conservation tips will be useful to you.
I get these tips from a saleswoman at Gérard Mulot called Florence. She has been working there for more than 8 years so she knows how to do it.
As for Gérard Mulot, he is a pastry chef who makes very good homemade macaroons (OK, it's not cheap, but it's delicious and not industrial like at Ladurée).
Here are now the 2 tips that Florence gave me to keep them better without them softening:
1. Store your macaroons in the refrigerator
The best way to keep your macaroons as long as possible in good conditions is to put them in the refrigerator, says Florence. Yes, the macaroons should not be left at room temperature.
In the fridge, place the macaroons in the central part. That is, on the middle shelves.
This cool zone corresponds to a perfect temperature for macaroons between 4 and 6 ° C.
2. Store them in an airtight box.
Now that you know where to put them in the fridge, you need to choose an appropriate container.
She advised me to put them in a waterproof box, Type Tupperware. Why ? So that all the flavors remain intact.
And also so that the smell of the fridge does not spoil the good taste of the macaroons.
Of course, nothing prevents you from keeping the original box of the buttons. This way, you can always serve them on the table in a beautiful presentation box when you want.
But by the way, when should they be taken out of the fridge? Good question.
Take the macaroons out of the fridge 1 hour before tasting
If you want your macaroons to always be tasty during tasting, it is important to take them out 1 hour before.
You can believe me, it was Florence who told me.
By taking them out at the right time, the macaroons have time to regain color and release all their aromas: chocolate, pistachio, raspberry, lemon, almond, coffee, caramel (the ones I prefer) ...

By keeping your macaroons in the fridge in an airtight box, know that it is quite possible to keep them for 1 week without altering the taste or the consistency.
