Le Mélèze - Gâteau aux fruits

A great lover of fruitcake, Marc Antoine Arrieta had the idea of making some for the first time in 2013. He finds it a shame that this delight is so unloved. In his view, if he makes a good fruitcake by the book, there is little chance that it will not be loved by everyone.

In 2015, while working as a waiter at a friend's restaurant in Sept-Îles, he took the opportunity to develop the recipe and make his first fruitcakes, which literally sold like hotcakes! In 2019 he officially left his job in the art world to become a full-time fruitcake specialist!

Le Mélèze - Gâteau aux fruits has been, for more than 10 years, a well-kept secret that leaves no one indifferent. The cakes are made according to the traditions of our ancestors, filled with nuts and dried fruit rehydrated in a rum syrup. Each cake is then wrapped in cheesecloth, soaked in brandy and vacuum-sealed to age for one to five years. Each cake is packaged, tied with ribbon, dated and numbered by batch and by cake before being set with its emblematic blue wax seal bearing the image of Le Mélèze.
