"Catch Valentine's Day" Food and Beverage Industry Unveils Limited-Time Seasonal Menus One After Another

[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] Ahead of the upcoming Valentine's Day, the food and dining industry is focusing on Valentine's Day marketing by launching various limited-edition products.

On the 12th, according to the food and dining industry, Paris Baguette released about 40 seasonal limited products such as macarons and cakes for Valentine's Day.

This new product line features a sophisticated and stylish package design under the theme "Love Dessert Story," created in collaboration with the famous domestic illustrator 'Saki (Kwon Eun-jin),' known for her original collage works. In particular, it emphasizes a lovely atmosphere by applying the 'Toile de Jouy' pattern, which developed in 18th-century France.

Paris Baguette introduced the 'Authentic French Macaron' as its representative product. To enhance the deep and rich flavor of the macaron itself, the quality was further improved, and the weight was increased by about 40%. Following the traditional method, whole almonds are ground and used instead of flour to add a crispy texture and nutty taste, and the filling (cream) made with French butter between the macaron shells is increased to provide a richer flavor. Also, no tar dyes are used, making it safe to eat. The selection has been expanded to include chocolate, vanilla, salted caramel, Camembert cheese, and yuzu ganache.
