J'adore Macarons

The new Portuguese brand J'adore Macarons, presents the Macaron, a gourmet product, masstige, exquisite craftsmanship and that although it is quite apparent in many other countries, is still little known in Portugal.
J'adore Macarons emerged through the partnership of two friends, who decided to publicize the Macaron, much appreciated on the world scene.
The macaroons are made with the finest raw materials and by highly qualified chefs for their production.They are also a specialty unique in appearance, taste and texture and can be presented in ways highly original and creative, such as through the famed Croquenbouche.
The Macaron cookie was born in Italy, introduced by the chef of Catherine de Medicis in 1533 at the time of her marriage to the Duc d'Orleans who became king of France in 1547 as Henry II. 
The term "macaron" has the same origin as that the word "macaroni" -- both mean "fine dough".The first Macarons were simple cookies, made of almond powder, sugar and egg whites. Many towns throughout France have their own prized tale surrounding this delicacy. In Nancy, the granddaughter of Catherine de Medici was supposedly saved from starvation by eating Macarons. 
In Saint-Jean-de-Luz, the macaron of Chef Adam regaled Louis XIV and Marie-Therese at their wedding celebration in 1660.Only at the beginning of the 20th century did the Macaron become a "double-decker" affair. Pierre Desfontaines, the grandson of Louis Ernest Laduree (Laduree pastry and salon de the, rue Royale in Paris) had the idea to fill them with a "chocolate panache" and to stick them together.Since then, French Macaron cookies have been nationally acclaimed in France and remain the best-selling cookie in pastry retail stores.
