Photo from Jewel Artisan Chocolates' websiteMy order of a Green Tea and a Black Palm Island Salt came prettily packaged in a pretty little box with handles. The jewels inside certainly didn't disappoint with their delicate crisp-chewy shells and smooth fillings.
While I couldn't taste much matcha in the Green Tea macaron (no. 2 in the picture above), I enjoyed the contrast in texture between the meringue shells and the mini crunchy chocolate pearls inside. But what was even more delightful was the Black Palm Island Salt version (no. 5). Salted caramel's the norm for salty-sweet desserts, but a mix of almond cream, volcanic salt and salted egg yolk were used here instead. Kudos to chef for her creativity! I'm so having Jewels' macarons again.
