French Brioche: a rich culinary heritage
Brioche, a rich, soft, and slightly sweet bakery item, finds origins in Normandy, France. The term “Brioche” comes from the old French word “brier”, meaning “to crush the dough”. Over the centuries, brioche has transcended regional boundaries, spreading to various regions across France, resulting in over 30 distinct variations, each with its unique local touch. Some famous French classics are the Brioche Parisienne, Brioche Nanterre, Brioche De Metz, Brioche Vendéenne, … In recent years, brioche has evolved into a worldwide phenomenon, with over 1,000 new brioche products launched across more than 60 countries.
