Through tradition and craftsmanship, macarons have become one of the most iconic sweets in French pastry.

At Bombonería Pons, we have been dedicated since 1960 to highlighting the essence of authentic French macarons, always highlighting the quality of the products we select. Today we invite you to explore the ingredients of macarons , breaking down their elements one by one so that you can enjoy all their flavour and texture at home or when choosing the best artisan macarons .

Perfect for an afternoon with friends, as an exclusive gift at a celebration or simply to treat yourself to a personal treat, macarons stand out not only for their elegant appearance, but also for their balance of textures and aromas.

But what really makes macarons special? The answer lies in the careful selection of ingredients for French macarons. In this article we tell you which are the essential elements that you must take into account to achieve that unique explosion of flavour that only a good macaron can offer you.

Quality starts with the ingredients

Making macarons is almost an art, and as in all art, the materials (or in this case, the macaron ingredients ) make the difference. Here is a basic list so you know what is needed to replicate their magic at home or so you can appreciate even more the excellence of those we make at Bombonería Pons:

— Almond flour : This is the star ingredient in macarons, providing that soft texture and a light almond aroma. Its quality is key, so we always recommend using fine, fresh flours.

— Egg whites : Make sure to use egg whites at room temperature, as they allow you to achieve that characteristic firm and shiny meringue that supports the structure of the macaron.

— Icing sugar : This ingredient must be extremely fine in texture to ensure uniform mixing.

— Regular sugar : Helps stabilize the meringue and give it that perfect consistency.

— Food colouring : Although not mandatory, they are responsible for the bright, captivating colours that macarons are so well known for.

With these basic components you can start preparing macarons that impress both in flavour and presentation. But if you prefer to enjoy all the mastery of their preparation directly, do not hesitate to discover our exclusive selection of macarons made with care at Bombonería Pons . Because in every bite of our macarons you will notice our passion for tradition and excellence.

The importance of selecting the right ingredients

When making these exquisite morsels, one of the most crucial steps is carefully choosing the ingredients . From ground almonds to icing sugar, each element must be of the highest quality to ensure exceptional flavour and texture.

Our history, which began in 1960, has always been marked by a desire for perfection in every piece we make. In a quiet village, the Pons family began experimenting with their first macarons, searching for the perfect formula. It is said that each macaron is a reflection of the artisan who created it, and that is why, in our confectionery , we put our heart into every step of the process.

Using the best ingredients for French macarons allows us to offer a product that is not only delicious, but also a pleasure to look at. Opting for the best is a tradition that we continue to uphold, as we do with our creations for Christmas, Easter, and other important dates.

The process of elaboration

The journey of creating the perfect macaron is just as fundamental as the final result. At Bombonería Pons, we pride ourselves on using traditional methods that have been passed down through generations. The fineness of the ground almonds , the texture of the meringue and the precision in baking are just some crucial steps.

• Finely ground premium quality almonds

• Icing sugar that provides softness and structure

• Carefully beaten egg whites

• Natural colourants that enhance your aesthetics

• Traditional flavours such as vanilla, pistachio, and raspberry

Each step is a little work of art. During baking, detail and care are essential to achieve the famous “stone” or “foot”, that delicate part of the base of a macaron that determines whether it is truly perfect.

The art of presentation

At our confectionery, we know that the first impression always counts. That is why, just like in the execution of the flavour, elegance in presentation is key. We present our macarons in beautiful boxes that reflect their interior: refined, carefully crafted and full of love.

Beautiful packaging not only catches the eye, but also makes our macarons an ideal gift for any occasion, be it Valentine's Day or Mother's Day. This is how, year after year, we consolidate our position as the number one choice for sweet and memorable gifts.

Stories that evoke sweet memories

Leticia, a loyal customer, tells how our macaron was the catalyst at her wedding. An elegant cart filled with strawberry macarons and chocolates at her ceremony was the detail her guests still remember fondly. This is just one of the many stories of how our creations have become an unforgettable part of our customers’ special moments.

And that is precisely the value we seek to convey at Bombonería Pons: moments full of tradition, sweetness, and a touch of exclusivity that only a well-made macaron can offer.
