Olivia Macaron
“Delicate French-style macarons with an ever-changing seasonal selection.”
Olivia Macaron is a Georgetown patisserie specializing in the French-style macaron, the delicate sandwich cookie that the French confectionery tradition has elevated to one of the most technically demanding and the most visually distinctive sweet preparations in the European pastry canon. The macaron’s reputation for the technical difficulty reflects the precision that the meringue-based cookie shell requires: the exact ratio of the almond flour, the powdered sugar, and the egg white; the macaronage, the specific folding technique that brings the batter to the correct consistency; the resting period that develops the characteristic foot; and the baking temperature and the timing that produces the smooth, domed shell with the ruffled edge.
The seasonal flavor rotation at Olivia Macaron presents the Georgetown macaron customer with the ever-changing selection of the macaron flavors that reflect the season’s available ingredients, the pastry team’s creative development, and the Georgetown customer’s demonstrated preferences. The Olivia Macaron customer who visits regularly has the incentive of the seasonal rotation to return frequently to discover the new flavor combinations and the limited edition preparations that the seasonal program introduces.
