Two types of date may appear on the packaging: either a use-by date (UBD) or an expiry date (EOLD).

The use-by date (UBD) is an imperative limit and is expressed on the packaging by the words: "Use by...", followed by the day and month. It applies to sensitive foodstuffs, often rich in water, which after a short period of time are likely to present a danger to human health. It is important to respect this date and not to consume an expired product, especially if the storage or conservation temperature, mentioned on the packaging, has not been respected (break in the cold chain). In fact, the durability of the product and its use-by date, set by the regulations or by the manufacturer, depend on the temperature at which the food has been kept.

On the other hand, some products have an expiry date (DLUO) expressed on the packaging by the words: "Best before...,...". Once the date has passed, the food does not present a health hazard but may have lost some or all of its qualities: taste, texture...

The chocolate should be stored in a cool (preferably between 4°C and 16°C), dry place, away from light and odours.

Candied chestnuts sold in bulk can withstand short stays (less than a few hours) at room temperature. However, for longer journeys, it is preferable to use vacuum-packed boxes which allow the marrons glacés to be kept for two years before opening.

FAUCHON macaroons keep for 5 days after purchase and should be stored in the bottom of your fridge. For a better tasting, we advise you to take them out 10 minutes beforehand.

FAUCHON macaroons are shipped by Chronopost. FAUCHON macaroons are shipped in isothermal, refrigerated packaging, specifically designed to protect them and keep them cool throughout the transport process. The macaroons are delivered with a bag of ice to preserve all their quality, this bag can be reused but is not consumed. The macaroons are to be kept in the refrigerator on receipt. FAUCHON pastry cooks have created for you a recipe for macaroons made from high quality raw materials and which includes a quick freezing stage to obtain a melting and crispy texture when eaten. Be careful not to refreeze them.

You will enjoy the best of chocolate between 20°C and 22°C.

Crystallization is a natural phenomenon that appears over time depending on the plants foraged by the bees. It in no way means that a honey is of poor quality, on the contrary, it rather testifies to the richness of honey in lactose.

FAUCHON fruit baskets can be delivered to departments 75, 92, 93 and 94 by our drivers only. They must be handed in at the latest the day before before 12 noon for delivery the following day.
