Assorted Macarons 450 pcs (Carton) — MIO

MIO Assorted Macarons: French patisserie, ready in seconds

MIO Assorted Macarons are ready-to-use professional mignons: 450 pieces of 35 mm diameter, in assorted colours and flavours, made from almonds and egg white. Produced and distributed by Innovaction (Ragusa, Sicily) under its professional MIO line, they let pastry shops, bars, hotels and caterers add a refined French dessert to the display without preparing Italian meringue, piping and baking from scratch. Served at room temperature, they are the fastest way to enrich a sweet buffet or a coffee-and-tea service.

What a macaron is and where it comes from

The macaron is a small confection made of two almond-meringue shells joined by a filling. It was introduced into France from Italy in the 16th century at the court of Catherine de' Medici, but its modern double-shell form, joined by a soft ganache or cream, was created in 1930 by Pierre Desfontaines of Maison Ladurée in Paris. The hallmarks of a well-made macaron are a smooth, crisp dome, the typical ruffled "foot" at the base, and a tender, slightly chewy interior. MIO Assorted Macarons reproduce this iconic structure on an industrial scale with consistent calibration.

The MIO line by Innovaction

Innovaction S.r.l., based in Ragusa in south-eastern Sicily, is a distributor of pastry and gelato ingredients that has developed its own professional brand, MIO, dedicated to semi-finished products for patisserie and ice-cream parlours with controlled food cost. The MIO range covers fillings, creams, glazes, mignon shells and ready desserts. These macarons belong to the ready-mignon segment, designed for high-rotation outlets that need a steady, repeatable product.

Sensory profile

Each macaron has a thin, crisp outer shell that gives way to a soft, moist heart. The assortment delivers a varied palette of colours and flavour notes for an attractive, multi-coloured display. The 35 mm diameter (+/- 2 mm) is the classic mignon size, ideal for tasting menus, petit-four trays and finger-food portions where guests sample several pieces.

Professional uses

Use MIO macarons as petit fours with coffee and tea, on dessert buffets and sweet tables for events, weddings and banqueting, as a finishing touch on plated desserts, on macaron towers and pyramids for catering, and as a colourful counter display in pastry shops and bars. Recommended serving is 3 to 4 macarons per person in a mixed dessert service. Bring them to room temperature before serving so the centre regains its soft texture.

Pairings

Macarons pair naturally with espresso, cappuccino and tea, with spoon desserts and gelato, and with sparkling and sweet wines for an aperitif-style sweet moment. To compose a complete dessert offering, combine them with other MIO mignon items such as filled tartlets, choux and gelato shells, and finish plates with edible flowers and mirror glazes.
