The Torch
Golden phyllo torch filled with saffron cream & edible gold dust
The flame of Lady Liberty — welcoming the world since 1886
The Story
The Statue of Liberty's torch has guided millions to American shores since France gifted the statue in 1886 — a beacon of hope, innovation, and new beginnings. Over 250 years, America became the world's melting pot, absorbing cultures, cuisines, and dreams from every continent. This golden phyllo torch, filled with luxurious saffron cream and dusted with edible gold, celebrates the inventive, aspirational spirit that defines the American experiment — still burning bright after a quarter millennium.
