Quatre-Quarts is a locally made pound cake made in the pursuit of realizing an unprecedentedly delicious taste brought by a patisserie in Ishikawa Prefecture. The name comes from the use of four ingredients in equal amounts: eggs, flour, butter and sugar. The pound cake expresses a simple but profound flavor.
This pastry is characterized by its elegant and sumptuous aroma and smooth texture. The pastry is steamed in an oven with superior airtightness and soaked in syrup immediately after baking. This method creates a moist, melt-in-the-mouth pastry that provides the full joy of its aroma and flavor. Two flavors are available: marron (chestnut) and apricot. Defrost at room temperature and serve within 30 to 60 minutes to fully enjoy the aroma and moist texture.
In addition, Quatre-Quarts products use an abundant amount of butter, which creates a tasteful and refreshing aroma and taste. The taste is also enhanced when paired with Kaga Bocha tea, a famous tea produced in Ishikawa Prefecture, from Maruhachi Tea Factory.
