Inspired by the writings of the famous apothecary and astrologer Michel de Nostredame, better known as Nostradamus, these almond and pine nut cookies bear witness to the refinement of Provençal sweet traditions. Passionate about the science of spices and flavors, Nostradamus is said to have recorded this recipe in his writings, making Pignolat a true gourmet heritage.
