Petal by petal, the violet is dressed in sugar. Confiserie Florian, a Riviera confectioner founded in 1921, handcrafts its Crystallized Violet Petals according to traditional methods, coating each petal individually to create a delicate, lightly crunchy confection. Its sweetness carries a gentle floral note of violet. A classic of the French Riviera, beautiful on cakes, macarons, and desserts, or on its own as an elegant sweet with coffee or tea.
