Carr\u00e9 de Salers is not a silk scarf, nor is it a Salers cheese. It can be found and enjoyed in the Cantal region, not far from La Gazelle. As its name suggests, it's a thin square biscuit (8 cm square) made to an ancestral recipe created by the craftsmen of the town of Salers in the Cantal.<\/span><\/p>\n

The secret recipe has been handed down from generation to generation. The famous pure butter pastry has a jagged edge and a different gilding depending on how it is baked.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It was invented in the XIX\u1d49 century, more precisely the name \u00abCarr\u00e9 de Salers\u00bb was registered by the Delsol family of bakers in 1867 (trademark registered with the Institut National de la Propri\u00e9t\u00e9 Industrielle). The Carr\u00e9 de Salers is also labelled a \u00abProduct of the Auvergne Volcanoes Regional Nature Park\u00bb. According to tradition, its shape was inspired by the smuggled matches that were stuck together at the time or, for others, by the cobblestones of the town of Salers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although the Carr\u00e9 de Salers is also available in a variety of recipes from biscuit makers in the Salers area, the ingredients are simple and remain the same: wheat flour, sugar, butter, eggs, salt and sometimes vanilla flavouring. This tasty biscuit has become a must-try and one of the emblems of the town of Salers.<\/span><\/p>\n

The carr\u00e9 de Salers can be eaten on its own or as a side dish, with ice cream, whipped cream, compotes, fruit, jam or, for tea and\/or coffee lovers, it can be dipped in a cup. This tasty Cantal speciality is easy to take away and keep (it's sold in bags, metal tins or cardboard boxes). You can give it as a gift or keep the nostalgia of the Cantal in your kitchen for your own enjoyment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some biscuit-makers make another typical Cantal speciality: tarte \u00e0 la tome...<\/span><\/p>\n
