Boules With Hazelnuts & Orange

These small, crispy biscuits feature delicate notes of orange blossom and finely roasted, crushed hazelnuts.

Known as Boules de Poilus, they were originally crafted by soldiers' families in northern France during the First World War. Designed to bring comfort to those at the front, they could be stored for long periods, tucked safely away in a tin box.
