The cannele de Bordeaux is the city's edible signature, a small fluted pastry with a deeply caramelised crust and a soft, custardy interior scented with rum and vanilla, baked in copper moulds.
The cannele has its origins in the 16th-century Convent of the Annonciades in Bordeaux, where the nuns used the egg whites discarded by Bordeaux winemakers (used to fine wines) and the leftover yolks were spun into pastries. The recipe with rum and vanilla emerged in the 18th century via the triangular trade through Bordeaux's port. The cannele was officially recognised as a Bordeaux specialty in 1985. Baillardran, La Toque Cuivree and Cassonade are the three modern Bordeaux producers.
