Who are they ?

It all starts with Audrey, a food engineer. After having worked for more than 10 years in the development of organic dry grocery products, she embarked on the design of her own recipes based on dried fruits. For years, Audrey had been developing, improving and fine-tuning her own dried fruit recipes coated with spices and herbs, where she met with enormous success with those around her.

Gourmet and good living, she makes the following observation: as delicious as they are, the organic offer of dried fruits to nibble during the aperitif is limited and the products are often too fatty, too salty, too sweet and filled with additives. This is how in 2017, she created Happy Hours!

These are artisan roasters and manufacturers of dried fruit and nut mixtures, etc. All their recipes are imagined, developed and handcrafted in their eco-designed building in Biovallée in Drôme.

Why did you choose them ?

Box apéro 3 apéritifs sains Happy Hours It all started with a meeting at Natexpo in Paris in October 2021. With Benoît, their stand particularly attracted us. We tasted their seeds, and it was an incredible culinary discovery! In addition to having met very nice people, we were really won over by all their mixtures. They were our favourite of the show!!!

Unfortunately for us, they only sell in bulk. And then, by dint of having requests from several customers, they launched their ranges of packaged seeds, to our delight.

We therefore offer 3 sweet mixes and 3 savory mixes for the aperitif that we offer in boxes.

Don't hesitate to try them, these mixes are really exquisite. They have conquered all of us at Essence Box and we are convinced that they will also conquer your guests.
