Papaline of Avignon – Per unit

A bite of Provence, a sweet legend: the Papaline d'Avignon, this small chocolate "thistle" with a heart of Comtat Origan liqueur, is the gourmet soul of Vaucluse — a refined sweet to savor or to offer.

🍫 Origin & know-how

• Created in 1960 by the Vaucluse Master Pastry Chefs' Union, the Papaline pays homage to the former popes of Avignon.

• Each papaline weighs approximately 8-9 g , handcrafted in the commune of Morières-lès-Avignon.

• Its shell is composed of two layers of chocolate: an inner coating of dark chocolate, an outer white-pink shell (tinted, reminiscent of the robes of cardinals) which gives it its characteristic tangy appearance.

• Inside: a heart of Comtat Origan liqueur , obtained from more than 60 plants picked around Mont Ventoux — a traditional liqueur from Vaucluse — sweetened with Provençal honey.

🍷 Tasting & the perfect moment

• Enjoy it on its own , as a refined treat, or with a coffee or digestif to enhance the liqueur.

• The contrast between the chocolate and the liqueur brings a unique balance: sweetness, warmth, sugariness and Provençal character .

• Lightweight — perfect for a moment of pleasure or a small local touch in a gift basket.
