Candies and Berlingots ambassadors of the expertise of Provencal confectionery

Candies from handmade know-how

For more than 150 years in the Vaucluse, women and men have been making delicious sweet sweets. Part of the heritage of the Comtat Venaissin, legend has it that the berlingot of Carpentras delighted the popes of Avignon. All our sweets are from an authentic and artisanal know-how. Our ingredients are carefully selected and exclusively from natural sources. In this process, we use no preservatives.

A tasting of confectionery (berlingots, sweets, Provence strawberry syrup, fruit pasta, marshmallow lollipops etc...) will be offered with a hot drink (coffee or tea), a friendly moment of sharing.

You can thus fully enjoy the quality of local ingredients (short circuits of strawberry type, apricot de Provence, honey igp melon from Provence, natural aromas made in Vaucluse etc... )

Did you know that

The Real Mint Berlingot de Carpentras is pink?

In 1830, a confectioner had the idea of recovering the syrup from the candied fruits he made to add it to the manufacture of his berlingots. The maceration of different fruits, among other red fruits, produced a syrup of pinkish tinge. Like many sweets of the time, its berlingots were peppered with mint, because the digestive virtues of this plant were very popular, the Vaucluse being the main place of production of mint in France
