MONIQUE’S SAVOURING & STORING GUIDE

Our desserts, pastries, choux & éclairs

The fresher, the better. Contrary to French wine or cheese, our desserts and pastries’ flavours don’t improve with time. The best way is to consume them the day you receive them, which would also be the date of their fabrication as all desserts & pastries are baked and prepared fresh at Monique. After purchase, if kept under refrigeration in their box, you can however keep savouring them within three days.
In order to enjoy thoroughly your desserts or pastries, take it out of your fridge 15min prior and let it come back to room temperature.

Our macarons & chocolate truffles

Our macaroons are totally free of preservatives, yet for longer conservation, they should be kept in an air-tight container at the bottom of your fridge and consumed within a week.
In order to enjoy thoroughly the flavours of your macarons, take them out of your fridge 15min prior and let them come back to room temperature.

Our madeleines, financiers, tea cakes, sablés, French hearts and other cookies

Nothing better than a French sablé or madeleine eaten out of the oven, however you can keep enjoying them for a week if stored in a good way. To preserve their texture, we advise you to keep them at room temperature in an air-tight box or covered with a hermetic wrap. No storage in fridge or freezer as it would disturb the humidity level of the products and yet their texture.

Our classic & sourdough breads

The best way to enjoy our breads is to consume them the day of your order, which would also be the date of their fabrication as all of them are baked and prepared fresh in the morning at our bakery.
Since our breads are made with natural ingredients carefully sourced and totally free of preservatives, to store them and preserve their texture, keep them in a cool and dry place away from direct sunlight. You can for instance place your bread in an air-tight box or covered with a hermetic wrap. This conservation will be valid for up to five days under refrigerated conditions and you can refer to your bread “shelf-life card” in case of doubt. Please note that if you wish to keep your breads for a much longer duration, you can also slice them and freeze them inside a freezing bag. That way, you can keep your bread in the freezer for three months. To serve them after freezing, you just need to take them out from your freezer and let them come back at room temperature. If you’re in a hurry, toasting a slice of your frozen bread is also possible!

Our jars

Our sweet and savoury jars are all artisanal and made with the best quality ingredients, and they are perfect to accompany your meals. They are made without preservatives, yet the best way to store them is to keep them in the fridge and savour them within three months – you can refer to their “shelf-life card” in case of doubt.
