The Pierre Hermé Boutique and La Mamounia's Centenary Yule Log

the ultimate in gourmet celebrations!

To celebrate its Centenary, La Mamounia asked Pierre Hermé to come up with a unique, never-before-seen creation that would encapsulate, in perfect alchemy,

the flavours of Morocco.
In response to this request, the pastry magician has created one of his most marvellous delicacies to date: a beautifully crafted yule log that celebrates both the Centenary of the Grande Dame and the spirit of Christmas. But above all, it is a divine tribute to traditional pastries in the form of an ode to the almond in all its many guises, and reminiscent of the sweet, bewitching scents of the Moroccan gazelle horn. The almond is unveiled in all its majesty, and the textures within are rich and voluptuous.

The melting sensation of the marzipan combines with the lightness of the almond cream and the crunchiness of the amlou, which is wonderfully enhanced by the delicate scents of orange blossom and candied oranges from the gardens of La Mamounia.

A superb symbol of the world of La Mamounia and the Kingdom of Morocco, which offers an irresistible invitation to embark upon the most delectable of journeys.
