- The Amandines de Provence from the H. Lalo biscuit factory were almond-shaped wafers filled with a refined-tasting fondant. In 1901, Biscuits Pernot bought the H. Lalo biscuit factory in L'Isle-sur-Sorgues. Pernot would continue to produce the flagship Lalo biscuit, the Amandine de Provence, under its own brand.
