These cookies are handcrafted in the La Sablésienne workshop in France using quality ingredients from the region such as fresh butter and eggs from free-range hens without any additives, dyes, preservatives or GMOs. Continuing the tradition started more than fifty (50) years ago, they are baked on metal plates and picked up by hand.

The recipe for Sablé, a pure butter biscuit, has been passed down from generation to generation with solid roots in the city of which it bears the name, Sablé-sur-Sarthe located in the heart of the Pays de la Loire, in France. It was in July 1670 that Madeleine de Souvré, better known as Marquise de Sablé, guest of honor at the Court of Grand Condé, offered a multitude of small round cookies that the famous butler Vatel will make taste to the King's brother, a fine gourmet himself. He will find them “strong to his taste and honest lightness” and will order that they be served to him every day in honor of the Marquise de Sablé. Little Shortbread was born.
