Madeleines with white chocolate and roses

In the second half of May we get really thrilled by the magic of the rose season gaining speed. That’s how we’ve chosen this month’s recipe – gentle, fragrant, obsessive. Just like a sunrise in May over the rose fields of Bulgarian Valley of roses. Do you want to know more on the fairy tale experience called rose-picking? Dive into its magic with our themed article, here.

And as our culinary metaphor of morning rose-picking we’ve chosen the French culinary classic, madeleines, touched by the scent of Bulgarian rose. Or better, fully coated. With our elegant rose-flavoured white chocolate with Bulgarian rose oil and rose petals. This recipe serves also as an extra bonus idea what to do with a melting chocolate on a hot day of May. And here how the magic happens…
