The “Pavé glacé” or “Pavé de Genève”

The “pavé glacé” was created by Mr. Stankovitch in 1936 at the confiserie Rangel, rue de la Corraterie. As part of their collaboration, Mr. Stankovitch presented Hans Rohr with the original recipe, and Hans started producing that specialty in the same year. For over 70 years now, Rohr has remained the only producer of “pavés de Genève” according to the original recipe.
