Hitting the sweet spot at Caramels D’Isigny Normandy, France

Only a short drive outside of the city of Caen and just south of the World War II D-Day landing beaches is the town of Isigny Sur Mer. As you follow the road directions and exit the highway continue on up above the McDonald's, to Caramels D’Isigny. On site is a small museum. Along with a window view into the production facility (Actual working caramel production line operations are morning and weekdays only ) and an on site boutique. You would not know it but the company is the heartbeat of Normandy supplying many varieties of food products including milk, cream,cheese, butter used in kitchens all over France and the world. But today we will be taking a look specifically at the sweetest of treats, caramel production. The production of caramels began in Isigny-Sur-Mer in the 1930s but the process began in 1800 and due to some changes in company dynamics forced the the town council and the dairy cooperative to renew the artisanal production of caramel in Isigny-sur-Mer and relaunch into a new cooperative ”Normandie Caramels” in April 1994. In the beginning, the new cooperative employed only 5 people and only 50 kg of caramel was produced every day. Now Caramels D’Isigny’s range of soft caramels now stretches to 70 varieties and 300 tons of caramels per year. Caramels D’Isigny, produces local products made with local high-quality raw materials: Isigny whole milk, Isigny PDO Butter and Isigny PDO Cream. The caramel’s unique flavour is a direct result of these ingredients. contains no gluten, gelatine, palm oil or artificial flavouring. The first stage involves producing the paste by masterfully combining the ingredients in the copper pots then cooking to 120C/ 248F. The final stage involves collecting the liquid caramel and spreading it out on a cold table in order to work it. The caramel is cut and then constantly turned over, before finally going through the rolling machine for shaping then wrapping It seems like a simple process but if patience and articulate skill is not used well … it would not be artisanal. You can try some samples as you see the process take shape on your visit to the factory. Unfortunately my tour was on the weekend so I was unable to watch the making of the caramel but video view was available. At the end of the tour is “LES HALLES D’ISIGNY” likely to be the favorite of many visitors because you get to take the caramel home. It’s a beautiful boutique of every type of caramel imaginable. From popcorn to toffee to Ice cream and ice cream topping, you tastebuds will be delighted but you can also find some charming souvenirs for your kitchen and home to remind you of your visit to Normandy. The cows here are special , and that makes the milk special. This is because the grass is special. the grass is special because the soil is special… rich in nutrients which give products from this region of France their unique flavor and top quality If you are in the area and plan a visit to the factory and boutique parking is available on site and is free.
