Some rituals you wait for. May arriving, the first hints of summer on the peninsula. And La Tarte Tropézienne releasing a new Baby Trop'.
This year, it's honey and strawberry. The famous Crème Tropézienne, delicately flavoured with Provençal honey. At the heart of the brioche, a generous layer of strawberry jam. Pearl sugar on top, that signature you'd recognize anywhere.
You can try it all through May, from the 1st to the 31st. €1.90 each, in every boutique or online.
No accident that the house plays the terroir card. Honey, strawberries, that floral sweetness meeting red fruit acidity. A balance, a pastry meant as a tribute to Tropezian spring, when the markets overflow with colour.
Everyone knows the legend: Bardot and Polish pastry chef Alexandre Micka in the '50s. The recipe remains secret. But the seasonal variations keep coming. And this one smells like the sun's return.
