Spécialité de Cosne : les Merlettes

History of the specialty of Cosne: it is by distinguishing himself in the first Crusade (1096 - 1099), that a Knight of Cosne acquired the right for him and his descendants to carry "D'Azur à trois Merlettes d'Argent" privilege transmitted to the city of Cosne-sur-Loire by imperial decree dated May 17, 1809
In 1991, Three Master Confectioners of our town united their efforts and talents to develop the recipe for Merlettes de Cosne. The Merlette is a dark chocolate and orange peel confectionery with cointreau, all covered with icing sugar. Delicious and original, the Merlette has known how to cross the ages. To find this little delicacy, go to the pastry and chocolate factory "Chez Nathalie".
