St Michel Madeleines Moelleuses

St Michel is a historic French biscuit company renowned for its traditional baking methods and soft sponge cakes. Originally founded in 1905 when pastry chef Joseph Grellier created the famous 'Galette St Michel' in the village of Saint-Michel-Chef-Chef, the brand has remained deeply rooted in French culinary heritage.

Today, the brand is owned by St Michel Biscuits, a family-owned independent French company. The Madeleines Moelleuses are manufactured in France, typically using locally sourced ingredients such as French wheat flour and eggs from free-range hens. The production continues to emphasize the 'Biscuiterie Familiale' (Family Bakery) heritage, maintaining high quality standards and avoiding preservatives to preserve the authentic taste of Brittany-region snacks. Unlike many major food brands, St Michel has remained a fiercely independent family business, avoiding acquisition by multinational food conglomerates.
