This review is strictly for the Macarons from Europea.
I had a small taste of these petite delights when Kat K & Jennifer K so generously shared them during a previous UYE. Since then, I've had flashback cravings particulièrement for the pear flavour, so I took hubby to task and requested he bring me back some from his jaunt to Montreal.
On the whole I found the centre fillings a little overtly butter-creamy and très sucrés, but the shell is possibly the best tasting I've tried. Very light textured yet so almondy with a nice soft delicate crumbliness. A word of warning, because of their delicate nature I'd handle them with extra care. Hubby brought my box of 12 home and about 3 of the macarons were crushed
:( then again he is a mega klutz...let's blame it on the husband :D
