Pierre Herme vs. LaDuree. In a head-to-head battle, who has the better macaron?
CARAMEL:
Pierre has a great cookie, but too sweet a filling, while La Duree's filling is beautiful burnt caramel.
Winner: Pierre Herme. It just worked together better.
CHOCOLATE:
Winner: Pierre Herme: No question!
The rest of the flavors were hard to compare. Here are the capsule reviews from best to worst:
LA DUREE:
Diva: Great mix of "red fruit" and chocolates
Violet Cassis: surprisingly intense!
Lemon: very yellow! but mildly (boringly) flavored
Raspberry: too mild
Orange Blossom: really didn't gel.
Grenadine: no --almost bubblegummy.
PIERRE HERME:
Passion Fruit & Chocolate: A Pierre Herme classic. Rockin!
Plenitude: delightful mix of chocolate & caramel
White Truffle & Hazelnut: holy crap, this is a weird one! It tastes like truffle for sure. Not for everybody.
Rose: Pleasant, subtle
The overall winner: Pierre Herme! I have spoken.
