In 1660, Mr ADAM, a genius with almond paste, sugar and egg whites, created a little masterpice of taste and subtlety:
At the marriage of Louis XIV with the Infanta of Spain in Saint-Jean-de-Luz, he presented some to the young king.
The king found them very much to his taste, which led to their immediate success at the court.
The Adam bakery still exists in Saint-Jean-de-Luz.
The secret of their manufacture has been handed down from father to son,
for the pleasure of all.
