They are particularly known for their macarons, and with family member Brigitte Trogneux married to Emmanuel Macron, the President of France, this has led to inevitable wordplay in the press, "On avait déjà le macaron d'Amiens. Maintenant, on a aussi le Macron d'Amiens !" (We already had the macaron of Amiens. Now we also have the Macron of Amiens!) [5]
The recipe at the origin of the reputation the maison : The macaron d'Amiens, was created by Jean Trogneux in 1898 and has remain unchanged. The same artisanal fabrication technique and the same ingredients list composed of natural products only are used: Valencias almonds, sugar, honey, sweet almond oil, bitter almonds and egg white. The macaron d'Amiens has been popularized by the maison, main producer of this regional speciality.
The business is now run by Jean-Alexandre Trogneux, nephew of Brigitte Trogneux, and the fifth generation in charge of the family firm. [5]
