St Michel La Grande Galette French Butter Cookies 1.3 lb Tin — 24% Real Butter & Guérande Salt, Gift Box of 36

St Michel La Grande Galette is a 1.3-pound tin of traditional French butter cookies made from simple ingredients, 24% real butter and a touch of Guérande sea salt.

Inspired by an early 20th-century recipe, these large round galettes follow classic French baking methods: short ingredient lists, real butter, and no artificial colors or preservatives. The cookies come packaged in an elegant gift box with a gold ribbon handle and contain 36 cookies per container. Because they use genuine butter and no hydrogenated fats or palm oil, the biscuits have a tender, delicate texture and may show some breakage after shipping.

What makes these St Michel cookies authentically French?

La Grande Galette follows a traditional formulation and uses Guérande sea salt, a specialty French finishing salt, plus a high butter ratio to create the characteristic flavor and crumb. Ingredients are kept simple to reflect classic patisserie techniques rather than industrial shortcuts.

• Recipe inspired by a 1905 French cookie tradition
• 24% real butter for authentic richness
• Guérande sea salt for balanced savory notes
• No artificial colorants, preservatives, hydrogenated fats or palm oil

How do these cookies arrive and handle fragile shipping?

The galettes are presented in a decorative gift box with a gold ribbon handle to protect and display the cookies. Because the recipe uses real butter and no stabilizing hydrogenated fats, the biscuits are relatively fragile and some pieces may arrive broken; the packaging minimizes breakage but cannot prevent all damage during transit.

• Packaged in a rigid gift box with ribbon handle for presentation
• 36 large cookies per 1.3-pound container
• Expect occasional broken cookies due to buttery, delicate texture
• Best stored in a cool, dry place to preserve shape and crunch

How should I serve or pair La Grande Galette?

These butter galettes pair beautifully with hot beverages, dessert wines, or fresh fruit for a simple yet refined treat. Thin, crisp texture makes them ideal for dipping briefly into tea or coffee, or for serving alongside cheese and fruit on a casual dessert platter.

• Serve with black tea, espresso, or lightly sweet dessert wine
• Arrange with fresh berries and soft triple-cream cheese
• Break into pieces for ice cream or dessert crumble toppings
• At room temperature they keep their crisp bite for savory-sweet contrast

What should I know about ingredients and dietary considerations?

The ingredient list focuses on basic pantry staples and real butter; the product does not contain artificial dyes or preservatives and avoids hydrogenated fats and palm oil. It is not suitable for people avoiding dairy or those with butter allergies, and packaging should be checked for any additional allergen statements.

• Contains 24% real butter — not dairy-free
• No added artificial coloring or preservatives
• No hydrogenated fats and no palm oil used
• Product of France — traditional European baking standards
