baked goods.<br>Of all the butters to choose from throughout the world, Financiers, a longtime favorite for more than 40 years, are made with \u201cpre-fermented butter\u201d, which has a rich taste that our founder fell in love with during a visit to Europe.<br><br><br>This pre-fermented butter has a very complex production process and it is difficult to find a producer in Japan.<br>Importing it from overseas was considered, but it would inevitably lose its freshness along the way while being transported.<br>That was when we met the dairy farmers of Hamanaka Town in Hokkaido.<br>The dairy farmers of Hokkaido\u2019s Nemuro and Kushiro areas not only raise their cattle in stress-free environments on spacious amounts of land, they also use tools such as soil and milk analysis to maintain the quality of the soil that is needed to provide their cattle with high-quality pasture. It is milk from this environment that the dairy farmers of Hamanaka Town use to exclusively produce the pre-fermented butter that is used in our financiers.<br>This is how we are able to continue making our Financiers with such delicious flavor.<\/p>\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.henri-charpentier.com\/eng\/products\/bakedcake\/4914\/\" class=\"modal-img d-block\">\r\n

cherished, even since our first days in the Salon de Th\u00e9 era.<br>The luxurious aroma of flamb\u00e9ed orange liqueur, the sweet aroma of fresh fruit, the richness of almond and mellowness of butter.<br><br>The aroma can enhance the taste of sweets before they are eaten and is an essential part of that wonderful moment that we give our customers.<br>However, aromas are fickle things, and if you\u2019re not careful they can get away from you very easily.<br>No matter how sweet the scent of a freshly made confection, our customers won\u2019t be fully satisfied if that aroma has vanished by the time they reach for it.<br><br>For this reason, we purchase the almonds for our Financiers in their whole, unground state and grind them in-house just before baking to bring out their full aroma.<br><br>The lemons used to make our Madeleines are harvested only when in season at their most flavorful, and the juice is immediately frozen to lock in the crisp, fresh aroma.<br><br>Additionally, once a confection is baked, it is individually wrapped within 10 minutes to ensure that it keeps its aroma.\r\n                <\/p>\r\n                <a

making both customers and dairy farmers happy.<br>Additionally, in order to ensure that this wonderful Western sweets culture continues, we also provide scholarships to support future pastry chefs, and thanks to this, some students have begun to become chefs at Henri Charpentier.<br>In order to keep delivering delicious sweets a hundred years from now.<br>We will keep working towards better
